Once in a great while, I will make this per request of my family. I stress the words, once in a great while, but seriously, it is a creamy Italian Heaven. You can use Cream or half and half, I have tried this recipe with both and the results are delicious.

My family loves my Alfredo on so many things. Pasta, veggies, as a sauce for meats, on pizzas, as a bread dip. So many things.
One of my favorite things to do, though, is buy a pound of medium shrimp, peel the shells, set the,shrimp aside, and steep the shells in the cream I'll be using for sauce. Then I'll cook the shrimp however I've decided to cook it that day. I'll almost always add a bag of frozen crawfish tails. They add the most amazing flavor and texture. Then I go ahead and finish the Alfredo how I normally would, then throw in a small bag of frozen peas, the cooked shrimp and crawfish, and let it all come to temperatures then toss in the shrimp and crawfish, stir it up, let it cook a bit until you,get it to the thickens you're after. Then take it off the heat, add in the juice of a lemon, you'd cheese, toss it with the pasta for a couple minutes, and enjoy.
