Reduced Fat Shrimp Alfredo image

We love Alfredo Sauce and also have to watch the fat content. Smart Balance Margarine makes a spread with 67% vegetable oil that you can use in cooking and that's what I used.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons low-fat margarine (like Smart Balance for cooking)
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cups carnation low-fat evaporated milk
salt
pepper
1 pinch nutmeg
20 -36 frozen pre-cooked shrimp, 5 per person
3/4-1 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 lb fettuccine pasta

Steps:

  • Make a Bechamel Sauce by melting the margarine in a pan, adding the flour and making a smooth mixture.
  • Slowly add the milk and stir constantly with a whisk until well blended and of the thickness you desire.
  • Add as much Parmesan cheese as you like, we thought 3/4 Cup was enough and let it melt and blend with the Bechamel Sauce.
  • Defrost the shrimp in cold water, remove the tail if necessary, and add to the Alfredo Sauce until heated.
  • Do not over cook as the shrimp with toughen.
  • Cook the pasta as directed on the package, mix the pasta and Alfredo Sauce and serve with garlic bread and a tossed salad.
