Instructions
This is a little tricky because the Alfredo and Scampi cook pretty quick
Bring a large pot of water to boiling
Alfredo sauce
- In a large fry pan add 1 stick(8 TB) of butter on med-low heat
- Once butter begins to melt add the minced garlic and let cook to golden
- Make sure to stir and add heavy cream
- Stir for a few minutes and add parmesan cheese and parsley
- Continue to stir until sauce thickens
- At this time you can add the angel hair to the boiling pot, cook for about 3 minutes
Scampi
- Make sure the pre-cooked shrimp is completely thawed
- On med heat add 2 TB butter and garlic to the pan
- Cook until garlic is a golden color
- Add the Shrimp with tails removed and stir into butter
- Top with salt pepper and red pepper flakes
- Turn heat down and add broth, a dry white wine can be used here too.
- If using wine cook until wine is reduced by half
- For broth let simmer for 1-2 minutes, continue to stir.
- Stir in remaining butter and parsley.
- Drain pasta, add alfredo top with shrimp and drizzle as much scampi sauce as desired on top.

Notes
Chicken can be used instead of shrimp. I just pounded out a few chicken breast, added them to a baking dish with some chicken broth and cook for 35 minutes at 400.
