At this time of the year with Easter Lent season coming, I am always looking for good seafood recipes; like this recipe for Shrimp Alfredo. This is a simple recipe with not a lot of prep or cooking time, calling for the use of cooked shrimp. Make sure the shrimp is unthawed first, so as not to overcook the shrimp. I served this Shrimp Alfredo Recipe with cheese sticks, which was an excellent combination. You and your family will love it; give it a try.
