Italian Food How To Make Garlicky Prawns And Pasta With Mushrooms In A Fast Down And Dirty Alfredo

This week I am making Garlicky Prawns With Mushrooms In An Easy To Make Down And Dirty Alfredo Sauce. This is easy to make and is a true comfort dish. I got on a kick to make it from my friend Chef Dave Mooney. He made some last week and I have been dying for it all week long so here it is. The recipe can be found below. Enjoy! Manga!

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. Olive oil.
1 Lbs. Fresh or frozen shrimp whatever you have on hand will work.
4 or more cloves of garlic minced well.
2-3 Tsp. Dried basil.
1 Tsp. Dried oregano.
Red pepper flakes to your liking.
8 oz Crimini mushrooms sliced.
1 Cup of half and half or heavy cream.
½ Cup of Gorgonzola cheese.
¾ Cup of Mozzarella cheese.
½ Cup pasta water.
½ Lbs. Linguine, fettuccine or regular spaghetti.
Instructions:
1. Heat a large skillet until hot - add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and immediately add garlic and shrimp, cook on one side for about 1 minute until pink on one side, on medium-high heat. Flip the shrimp to the other side, sprinkle the top of cooked side of shrimp with dry basil, paprika, and salt, cook for another 1-2 minutes, occasionally stirring, until shrimp is pink on both sides. Remove the shrimp from skillet. If shrimp is a little undercooked - it's OK because you will continue cooking it in the sauce.
2. To the same skillet add sliced mushrooms. Add more olive oil if necessary. Cook on high heat for about 2 minutes, occasionally stirring, until mushrooms become soft and release juices. Salt midway through cooking.
3. To the skillet with mushrooms, add cooked shrimp. Immediately add 1 cup half and half and all of the cheese - bring to boil, then reduce to simmer, and cook, constantly stirring, until all cheese melts. Cover with lid and remove from heat.
4. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve some of pasta water. Drain and rinse pasta with cold water. Add pasta to the skillet with shrimp and mushrooms and cream sauce. Stir well, season with more salt and add more crushed red pepper flakes and basil, if desired.
5. If the cream sauce is too thick and you want it creamier - add some pasta water in small amounts until you reach desired consistency.
1. In a large skillet add 2-3 Tbsp. Olive and heat it up.
2. Add your garlic and shrimp to he skillet.
3. On medium high heat cook the shrimp until just pink.
4. Turn the shrimp and sprinkle with your dried or fresh basil, oregano and a pinch of salt.
5. Cook for 1 or 2 minutes stirring every now and again until shrimp is pink on both sides.
6. Now remove shrimp and set aside you will finish cooking it in another step.
7. To the same skillet add your mushrooms and a little more olive oil if needed.
8. Cook mushrooms on high heat 3 minutes stirring until mushrooms release water and get soft.
9. Add a pinch of salt to the mushrooms about halfway through cooking in step 8.
10. Now add back your cooked shrimp to the skillet with the mushrooms.
11. Quickly add 1 cup of half and half or heavy cream and all of your cheese.
12. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer cook stirring constantly to melt all the cheese.
13. Cover the skillet with a lid and remove from the heat.
14. Cook your pasta until al dente or a little softer if you like.
15. Keep at least once cup of the pasta water in reserve. Drain and rinse your pasta with cold water.
16. Add the pasta to the skillet with your shrimp and mushrooms and cream sauce now.
17. Mix together well.
18. Adjust with a little more salt, black pepper and red flakes as desired.
19. If your cream sauce is to thick add more cream to loosen or add some pasta water or stock.
20. Eat and enjoy! Manga!

Richard, I really like the simplicity of this recipe. I also like the way that you prepared it. The versatility of this dish is the key. Like you mentioned, changing the cheeses or the seasoning fluids makes for boundless culinary opportunities! Nicely done!

[@RichardBlaine]

I appreciate you taking the time to stop on by and check it out and yes the versatility of the sauce is delish. The last time I made the sauce I did not use the shrimp and I spooned it over a seared and sliced steak and I was in heaven! Cheers!

[@RichardBlaine]

I will save a plate just for you Laurice! I am sure that if you and I are eating we could yakkity yak for hours!

[@LauricesKitchen2010]

[@RichardBlaine]

Laurice's Kitchen I am so on it! :)

[@EZGlutenFree]

Looks incredible. When you said garlic you meant it. The sauce at the end was so rich and delicious that I just wanted to dive into the pan and roll around. Well done.

[@RichardBlaine]

Now coming from an Italian girl I take that as a great compliment! Garlic is Life! Thanks for checking it out Ann!

[@davescooking6937]

This looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing. Big thumbs up Richard :D

[@RichardBlaine]

Cheers man! Much appreciated!

[@eateastIndian]

I'll have to go see what Chef Mooney made. As usual your dish looks divine.. I'll have to make this for my family..I like flat pastas too..although i dont aim for it , my pasta ends up being beyond Al Dante' :)

[@RichardBlaine]

I am glad you stopped by to check it out Aditi! How is the yoga going? Truly beyond al dente' is best! Mooney made his garlicky prawns and I just had to make some cuz he hit my prawn funny bone! :)

[@kwstikas82]

ooh, baby, that's what i'm talking about! That's a serious sauce, loved it! I also wonder how it would be with tomato instead of cream..

[@RichardBlaine]

It would be excellent! The tomato with the cheese would be killer and if it got to thick use more tomato or stock to loosen it up a bit and you would be good to go!

[@ChefMooneys]

Great recipe Richard, looks great I do love this kind of dish with pasta like you did it here. Thanks for the shout out buddy and as always happy cooking

[@RichardBlaine]

Oh yeah man you started me on a garlicky shrimp warpath last week! I just had to do something with garlicky prawns! All your fault but I am glad you like the recipe! Cheers!

[@RichardBlaine]

Millie Grazie Rona! Millie Grazie!

[@Adam-zt9yn]

Flour your mushrooms for a thicker creamier sauce. Every store bought cheese sauce uses a starch thickener, why? Because people prefer the consistency. Spot on with the bechamel. This is a bechamel where someone forgot the roux.

[@elisamartini1310]

PLEASE!!! THAT'S DISGUSTING! IN ITALIA WE DON'T COOK PASTA LIKE THAT! I WANT CRY

[@sands_in_taufer]

People have different ways of cooking.....cry if you want and be over dramatic...get over it.

[@tessytiwa3941]

So funny

[@soul676]

Dude no wtf are you doing?
