  2. I want to try something a bit like this but with a few small twists. Got some very nice (De Cecco brand) pasta, and thought I'd add a little starch (maize or potato is what I've got) to the pasta water along with the salt (in good restaurants they tend to cook many batches of pasta in the same, increasingly starchy water), saving a cup for the sauce when al dente. I also got some shell-on shrimp, which is a bit more work but better quality, and above all allows making stock from the shells when they've been peeled (and devained).

    My plan is to try to make a different sauce using some of the pasta water and shrimp stock, but omitting most or even all of the cream, instead trying to emulsify it with some good butter (what we in Norway call "seterssmør" – made from sour cream, rather than ordinary cream; no idea what this is called in English). I'll fry the shrimp in a very good olive oil (De Cecco Classico) with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little bit of habanero (finely diced).

    It won't really be Alfredo if the sauce thickens without the cream, but there should be a much more intense shrimp flavor thanks to the stock. I'll just try to remember the advice from Dan the Man from Cook's Illustrated and only cook the shells for five minutes when making the stock (apparently the shrimpy flavors come from pretty fragile compounds that are easily destroyed if it is cooked for too long – a 30 minute shrimp stock didn't taste like shrimp in their testing..) and hopefully this idea will turn out to taste as good as I imagine it will! 🙂

  3. Oh my taste buds, prepare to be dazzled! This recipe sounds like a symphony of flavors, a culinary masterpiece in the making! It's like a whimsical dance of ingredients, pirouetting together in perfect harmony. The mere thought of it makes my stomach do a happy little jig!
