I'm making fettucine alfredo, and I want to add shrimp?

Question

And maybe some broccoli, depending on what answers I get here. If I get the pre-cooked, frozen shrimp, do I just thaw it and toss it in with the sauce? At what point? Same question with the broccoli, although I think I'll do fresh broccoli.

Answer 1

That's excellent! If you get the pre-cooked frozen shrimp, just let it thaw a bit or lightly nuke it, then drain the water. Same thing with frozen broccoli. If you use fresh broccoli, then you might want to steam it a bit before tossing it in. I love alfredo, it's so versatile.

Answer 2

just thaw the shrimp, steam the broccoli and toss it all together in the sauce to warm up the shrimp. Sounds yummy!

Answer 3

Yumm - it's good with shrimp! Yeah - just thaw it and toss it in to heat up once you've made the sauce - it'll only take a minute. If you're using brocolli, cook it first and then drain and add it. I don't know if I'd use that, but if you like brocolli, why not?
