Spicy Shrimp Alfredo
Ingredients
  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 pound portobello mushrooms, diced
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water in a large pot until it reaches a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the pasta reaches a firm yet slightly resistant texture; drain the water.
2
In a separate cooking vessel, combine butter and olive oil over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion until it becomes soft and transparent, approximately 2 minutes. Introduce garlic, red pepper, and mushroom into the mixture; cook over high heat until they become tender, roughly 2 minutes more.
3
Add the shrimp to the saucepan and cook until it reaches a firm, pink color. Then, pour in the Alfredo sauce, Romano cheese, and cream; bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring continuously until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to taste.
4
Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in a bowl, stirring until well incorporated. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
