Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 (16 ounce) package fettuccine noodles
  2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  3. 1 cup diced multi-colored bell peppers
  4. ½ cup sliced green onions, mostly white and lighter green parts
  5. 6 cloves garlic, crushed, or to taste
  6. 1 cup diagonally cut asparagus spears (1-inch pieces)
  7. 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  8. 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  9. 3 tablespoons diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
  10. 1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
  11. 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  2. At the same time, heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers, green onions, and garlic; cook until almost tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Quickly stir in asparagus and Italian seasoning. Add shrimp and diced tomatoes and chiles; toss until shrimp just start to turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add Alfredo sauce and stir to avoid sticking. Cook and stir until sauce is hot and bubbling, and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Serve sauce over fettuccine and garnish with Parmesan cheese.
  5. I prefer original RO*TEL(R) but adjust for your taste.
  6. Use your favorite pasta, and you can make your own Alfredo sauce instead of using prepared.

This is delicious! I had a lot of fresh asparagus and when I found this recipe I knew I had to try it. For some ingredients, I used what I had on hand – instead of Rotel, I used chopped frozen Hatch (hot) peppers from my freezer and chopped fresh tomatoes, mixed my own Italian seasoning (1/2 tblsp basil and 1/2 tblsp oregano), and used a red pepper because I didn’t have a green pepper. I also added about 1 tsp salt. Try it with what you’ve got. You can’t go wrong. You will enjoy this tasty, filling, beautiful dish!

I’ve made this 2 times now and love it!! I used Mild or Hot Rotel because I like the SPICE, along with seasoning the shrimp with Tony’s. Delicious and very easy!!
