This Easy Cheesy Shrimp Alfredo recipe has been one I have been making for the kids for years. The only difference now I have learned is to add in more cheeses, trust me on this it knocks the flavor up a whole another level for alfredo and flavor!! Now you can do the same for chicken and just swap that out for the shrimp, or add in the chicken for a whole nother flavor factor. (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own to make my journey easier. You can buy them too through my online sales links.)
Now the first time in 2015 I had to reach out to some friends because I had never bought shrimp to cook at home or cooked it myself. I headed to the meat department to get shrimp and just fry it up in my skillet. I had no idea that you need to either buy deveined shrimp or deveine it yourself, I personally now prefer to buy them deveined just because of the whole eww factor. However, we do still have to pop off the tail of the shrimp before cooking and we are good to go!
Now I keep trying to get my kids to help pop off the tails and it never works. While I am popping off the tails I get the bacon going, I have to say that is one ingredient that has really taken our alfredo even further because well bacon is amazing. Also, this is one of those meals that I would consider a cheat meal because it is so heavy in cheeses and pasta!
