Let’s get started!

You’ll need these ingredients.

Large Shrimp (1/2 pound) · Kinder’s Italian Blend Seasoning (2 tbsp) · Olive Oil · Butter · Garlic · Dry White Wine (1/4 cup) · Capers (1 tbsp) · Heavy Cream (1 cup) · Pecorino Romano Cheese (1 cup) · Salt + Pepper · Fettuccine Noodles (1 pound) · Fresh Parsley

I LOVE all the Kinder’s seasonings and it’s a staple seasoning blend in my kitchen. It’s the perfect seasoning blend for this Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo dish or any other Italian-based dish. Their Italian Blend is the best Italian seasoning I’ve tried. You can get them at Costco or Sam’s Club, plus they can be found at your local Walmart. I’m not sponsored by them or receive any compensation from them, and I just honestly really love their products and want to share them with all of you.

Once you have seasoned the shrimp, heat up a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the butter with olive oil and saute the garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add in the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Set shrimp aside and keep warm.

Next, add in the white wine and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Then add in the capers, and cream and simmer for 4-5 minutes. Then add in the Pecorino Romano cheese and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Season with 1/4 tsp each of Salt + Pepper or more to taste.

I love to use Pecorino Romano cheese over Parmesan cheese since it’s made from goat’s milk versus cow’s milk. It has a bit stronger taste than Parmesan cheese which helps elevate the flavors in this dish, but you can definitely substitute Parmesan for the Romano in this recipe.

Toss in the cooked noodles to coat in the sauce. Add back in the shrimp and top with parsley. Serve in warmed bowls to keep the pasta from getting cold too quickly. Sprinkle on some extra Pecorino Romano cheese to your liking and garnish with some more parsley.
