Crab Alfredo image

Simply put, delicious! A little on the decadent side, but it can be made with fat-free half-and-half and a heart-healthy spread instead of butter. Serve with garlic bread sticks, a nice salad, and a glass of Chardonnay.

CAJUN SHRIMP & CRAB WITH ALFREDO SAUCE



Cajun Shrimp & Crab With Alfredo Sauce image

My recipe fed four hungry Cajuns. Reminder: Shrimp tends to produce water while cooking. If you do not want a thin sauce, half way cook the shrimp in a separate pot. Then spoon them out into your sauce. If you do not like Shrimp or Crab you can always leave whichever one you do not like out of the recipe. You can also use this same recipe but with Crawfish or Chicken. I baked garlic bread to eat with my dish.

ALFREDO MAUI MAUI WITH CRAB



Alfredo Maui Maui With Crab image

This is so scrumptious and rich you'd think you've gone to EPICUREAN HEAVEN. Basil accents this entrée with a touch of garlic. Lower in fat as it is prepared with nonfat half and half. I serve this with a medley of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Times are estimated, as I don't clock myself. You can substitute other fish fillets, but never use imitation crab. This recipe just looks busy, but is step by step and actually not that difficult. So read through first and you'll see how simple it is.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH THAI RED CURRY AND LUMB CRAB MEAT



FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH THAI RED CURRY AND LUMB CRAB MEAT image

Categories     Pasta     Boil

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 box fettuccine
1 T. unsalted butter
1 garlic clove; minced
1 ¼ C. heavy cream
Salt, white pepper
½ C. grated Parmesan cheese
Juice of ½ lemon
1 T. Thai red curry paste*
Cayenne pepper; a pinch
1 small container good quality lump crab meat (I used Whole
Foods Market brand)
Lemon zest
Italian flat-leaf parsley; chopped roughly
*Thai red curry paste can be found in your local grocers' ethnic
food aisle.

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once it's ready, add a generous sprinkle of salt to the water. Add the fettuccine noodles; stir. Allow to cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. While this cooks, get started on the sauce. In a large saucepan, add the butter and allow to melt slightly. Add in the garlic and fry slightly for about 30 seconds. Pour in the heavy cream, salt, white pepper, lemon juice, and allow to come to a gentle boil; stirring. Lower the heat and add the Parmesan cheese. Once it's melted thoroughly, add the Thai red curry and using a whisk, allow to incorporate into the sauce completely. Taste for seasonings. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and then gently stir in the lump crab meat. Once the fettuccine noodles are cooked al dente, add them directly into the saucepan with the alfredo-thai red curry sauce and mix gently to combine. Feel free to add pasta water to loosen the sauce, if necessary. Serve pasta in big bowls and garnish with lemon zest, parsley, and another sprinkle of cayenne pepper on top. Provecho!
