Spicy shrimp cooked in creamy Alfredo sauce with a hint of cayenne and Romano cheese for added flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 0.5 pound portobello mushrooms, diced
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 0.5 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 0.5 cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup chopped parsley
Instructions:
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and olive oil until melted. Add onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic, red pepper, and mushroom, cooking until soft over medium-high heat for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp and cook until they turn firm and pink. Pour in the Alfredo sauce, Romano cheese, and cream. Simmer while stirring until thickened, around 5 minutes. Season with cayenne, salt, and pepper to your liking. Mix the drained pasta into the sauce and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
