Shrimp Mushroom Alfredo

A little heavy, but delicious.

This recipe is for 2 people.

Ingredients

• 85 gram (3 oz) tagliatelle
• 150 gr (around 5 oz) mushrooms
• 100 gr (around 4 oz) shrimp
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (a little more for decorating)
• 2 1/2 tbsps butter
• Olive oil
• Salt, black pepper,cayenne pepper
• Vinegar (optional)
• Mint or parsley (optional)

Preparation

Cook pasta first according to the instructions on the package. Spare 1/4 cup of pasta water. Marinete shripms with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and vinegar about 15 minutes. Put olive oil in a pan and cook marinated shrimps until they get pink. Set aside the shrimp for now. I only had baby shripms, but it is better if you use  jumbo ones.

Then put 2 tbs butter in a pan and add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, cook until mushrooms turn into brown.

Then add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper, and cook couple of minutes. Add the rest of the butter and  parmesan, cook until they mixed well.

Add cooked pasta and pasta water into the mix and cook couple of minutes more until it reaches a good texture.

You can garnish with parsley and parmesan. I did not have parsley, so  I used fresh mint.

Enjoy!
