Smarter Kitchen: Rich & Creamy Shrimp and Mushroom Fettuccine

Here is a dish that isn’t for the crock pot but can be on the table in 30 minutes! This Rich & Creamy Shrimp and Mushroom Fettuccine is definitely a way to work smart in the kitchen and this is one of my kids favorite meals!
As most others, my recipes are inspired by recipes I have seen. I do not remember where I got the original recipe but I have added new ingredients, doubled the sauce recipe ingredients (almost) and added some other seasonings that I like. Since there is so much of me in this, I claim it as mine!
What really makes this sauce special is that it doesn’t have Parmesan Cheese like most Alfredo sauces have. Since Parmesan is a migraine trigger this is perfect and I use this sauce recipe as a replacement for Alfredo sauce.
Yes, 10 Tablespoons of butter is a lot of butter. For starters, I don’t recommend that you eat like that everyday. Treating yourself to a dish laden in yummy butter is perfectly acceptable on occasion.
This fettuccine dish is wonderful with some smoked sausage and/or zucchini and adding these takes this recipe over the top. The different flavors and textures in this single dish makes it pleasing to the tastebuds!

Ingredients

|
- Cook noodles in salted water until it reaches desired doneness. (Around 11 minutes)
- In a large skillet melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat and saute mushrooms and onions until soft and brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add remain butter and Add garlic powder, cream cheese, and seasonings. If using smoked sausage, zucchini or Blackened seasoning put that in the pot now. (Caution, this usually looks like a science project gone bad at this point so don’t give up) simmer this until cream cheese is melted.
- Pour 1 cup of water from noodle pot into the cream cheese mixture and stir until creamy. Use more water if sauce is too thick.
- Add the thawed shrimp to the mixture and simmer for 5-6 minutes while stiring occasionally to keep sauce from sticking.

Well, Jen, I think there’s a problem with your post because I can’t see the link to the YouTube video for this recipe!
hahaha I’m just pulling your leg 😀
I don’t like shrimp but my boyfriend sure would like to try this one out!
You can replace the shrimp with chicken. I have done that when I had some leftover rotisserie chicken or if I just didn’t have any shrimp.
Looks yummy and as a treat. I know someone who will love this.
Awesome! Let me know how you like it!
This looks so delicious, Jen. Two of my favorite things Pasta, and Shrimp. I’m not a fan of mushrooms, but my boyfriend will love it with mushrooms. Definitely giving this recipe a try. Thank you for sharing!
Leave out the mushrooms and put in something you do like! It is one of the great things about this recipe…versatility!
Oh, this looks so utterly delicious and – crucially for me – not too hard! We all love seafood in my family, even my ultra fussy 8 y/o daughter, so I’m bookmarking this page to try out later. And I love that adjustable widget in your recipe that automatically calculates the amounts per person – genius! Thank you so much for sharing xx

No idea you had a recipe series, I will definitely be here to read more. I agree, nothing wrong with adding butter to your sauces, everything in moderation. This dish looks so good and I was so happy how easy it is to make. I’m gonna suggest this to my family. I like the idea of addding sausage and zucchini, perfect for our taste buds.

I love to cook so to mix things up a bit, I post an occasional recipe! Let me know if your family enjoys it.
Yummy! I’m not a mushroom fan but I do love me some alfredo 😋
Leave out the mushrooms! This recipe is versatile! Maybe add some scallions or asparagus instead.
I’m more of a broccoli person. That’s what I usually use when I make alfredo. It’s super good!
Broccoli would be perfect!
This looks amazing!! Definitely one to add to the list!!
Let me know if you enjoy it!
Wow this looks like a perfect dinner for me! I love pasta, I love shrimp and all the ingredients together sound wonderful!

It us yummy, easy & versatile!
My mouth is watering just looking at this recipe! But yes that is a lot of butter… how much does it change the sauce if you cut it down?
It doesn’t get creamy and adding more liquid doesn’t help. Like I said, don’t eat like that often but an occasional time won’t hurt you.
It looks good! ThnQ you so much for sharing this!😍x
This looks really yummy! I’ve never tried to mix Shrimps and mushrooms so I am curious 😊
I’ll try! Thanks for sharing!!!
The baby portabella mushrooms and the shrimp compliments each other very nicely!
