Instructions
- Peal the shrimp and slice the chicken. I like to slice the chicken into thin rectangular shapes like it’s served at gourmet restaurants; you even see it this way at Olive Garden.
- Season the shrimp with cajun seasoning and old bay seasoning and season the chicken with everything else.
- Place a skillet over med-high heat and add 2 tbs of oil.
- After 1 minute, add the chicken and fry for 3 minutes, then add in the shrimp and continue cooking for an additional 3 minutes, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add 2 qts of water, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tbs of oil to a medium pot and place over high heat.
- Once it comes to a boil, add in the fettuccine and cook for 10-12 minutes then strain, reserving 2 tbs of the water.
- Meanwhile, shred the parmesan cheese.
- Place the same skillet you cooked the chicken and shrimp in over medium heat.
- Add in the butter and minced garlic.
- Once melted, add in the heavy cream, Parmesan, and cream cheese.
- Whisk periodically and let it simmer for 8 minutes.
- Once it’s almost done, add in the pasta water you reserved, the seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, and parsley, then stir well.
- Add in the chicken, shrimp, and pasta then fold well, or serve the pasta separately.
Some people leave and serve the sauce, chicken & shrimp, and fettuccine separately. - Garnish with more parsley, and pieces of parmesan cheese if you like.
Notes
- You don’t have to combine everything!!! When restaurants serve it separately, they start by first adding the pasta to the plate, followed by the Alfredo sauce, and topping it with the chicken and shrimp. Then, they garnish it with shredded parmesan and parsley.
