Fried catfish with shrimp and spinach alfredo over linguini 👌👌👌
I cooked this over a year ago although I basically make Alfredo the same each time. I'm pretty sure this is what I did
INGREDIENTS
- linguini
- 1 1/2 pounds jumbo Shrimp
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 handfuls of baby spinach
- salt
- pepper
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- Cajun seasoning
- heavy cream
- pinch of nutmeg
- cream cheese
- grated parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Season peeled and deveined shrimp with salt pepper and Cajun seasoning (Use your judgement when seasoning your food. I don't measure but I'm sure it was no more than a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper, maybe 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning)
- Bring pan to med high heat
- Add EVOO
- Cook shrimp about one minute per side then remove from pan and set aside
- Pour any excess oil from the pan then add the minced garlic, spinach and butter
- stir about a minute. Reduce heat to med low
- Cook pasta per package directions
- Add heavy cream, ( I really don't measure when I'm cooking but I can tell you that I usually get a quart of heavy cream and I use about 3/4 of it) grated parmesan cheese, and a pinch of nutmeg. I like to put a lil red pepper flakes in mine
- Let simmer 5 minutes
- Add 1 or two tablespoons cream cheese (optional) Whenever I make dishes with a cream sauce I like to add cream cheese, I think it gives it a smooth silky texture
- Add shrimp back to the pan reserving 5 or 6 to place on top
- Toss well with pasta. Then plate putting the reserved shrimp on top of the pasta.
* For the catfish I used Louisiana brand fish fry
