MAMA'S CHICKEN AND SHRIMP ALFREDO FROM SCRATCH

Mama's Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo from Scratch image

Mom made this the other day and it rocked. It creates a ball and chain to the kitchen for awhile, but you could prepare some of this the day before and cut on the time. I like the parmesan mix with asiago, but you can use just plain old parmesan if you want.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND SHRIMP ALFREDO

Creamy Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo image

You'll love my twist on this creamy Alfredo. It's a little heavy on the hips, but worth every bite. A perfect match with a nice green salad, and you must have garlic bread to sop up this creamy sauce.
