FETTUCCINI ALFREDO WITH SHRIMP OR CHICKEN

1 # Shrimp, peeled and deveined

or 1 # Chicken Breast, cut 1"

5 TBS Butter

12 oz Fettuccini

1 1/2 cups Half & Half

1 large clove Garlic, crushed

Pinch ground nutmeg

Juice of 1/2 a Lemon

Black Pepper

3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

Cook fettuccini as directed. Keep warm.

Melt butter in large skillet. Add shrimp or chicken. Sauté until done. Remove from pan. To butter in skillet, add half & half and garlic. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add nutmeg and lemon. Toss in warm fettuccini, chicken or shrimp and half cup cheese. Toss again. 

Serve warm with remaining cheese on top. 

I like this equally well with jumbo shrimp or chicken. The sauce will not be thick. If not eaten immediately it will separate. If you need to hold longer, sprinkle a little Wondra on half & half during the last 2 min of cooking.

Serves 8. ( Not in the Jarrell family).
