No Photo

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 to 10 fresh basil leaves (rinsed)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons blackening seasoning
  • 1 pound peeled/deveined shrimp (thawed, if needed)
  • 1 large zip-top bag
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 8 ounces steak-topper vegetables (fresh pre-sliced mushrooms, onions, bell peppers)
  • 1/3 cup cream sherry
  • 1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan/Romano cheese

Instructions

  1. Fill large saucepan half full of water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat for pasta. Chop basil finely (2 tablespoons); set aside.
  2. Heat large sauté pan over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Place Italian seasoning, blackening seasoning, and shrimp in zip-top bag; seal tightly and shake to coat.
  3. Place oil in sauté pan; swirl to coat. Arrange shrimp flat in pan in a single layer (wash hands); cook 2 minutes without turning, to sear shrimp on one side.
  4. Stir pasta into boiling water. Boil for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until tender.
  5. Add vegetables to sauté pan. Rotate shrimp to top; cover and cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
  6. Stir in remaining ingredients (including basil); cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is smooth.
  7. Drain pasta; return to saucepan. Add shrimp mixture to pasta, toss to coat, and cook 1–2 more minutes, stirring often, or until flavors are blended and sauce is thoroughly heated.
  8. Serve.
