This Peppered Shrimp Alfredo Recipe took a little time to put together but it was well worth the effort. I thought the recipe looked a little unusual because of some of the ingredients, but it turned out very good. It has a nice rich flavor because of the cream and a little bit of a nip created by the cayenne pepper. For the shrimp I was able to get tail off for this recipe; just use whatever is available. The recipe calls for raw shrimp but I’m sure cooked would work out fine. So if you want seafood on the menu tonight give this Peppered Shrimp Alfredo Recipe a try and enjoy.
