Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp Alfredo | The Frugal Chef

Shrimp Alfredo is exquisite — juicy shrimp in a cheese sauce serves with pasta. It is an elegant meal that is quite easy to make.

An Alfredo sauce is a cream based sauce made with cheese. Some people make it by adding cheese to a Bechamel sauce. I do not like that particular method. I prefer to make mine with cream, cheese and butter. This is not health food and not something you would eat everyday but once in a while it is a great treat to enjoy.
