A deliciously creamy Shrimp Alfredo with crab. A perfect pasta recipe any time of year!
Creamy Shrimp Alfredo With Crab
We are a family who loves a good creamy Shrimp Alfredo. It’s one of the only seafood dishes I can get my husband to actually enjoy eating. I mixed it up, just a bit this time around and added some flaky crab. Turns out, this is the perfect seafood pasta recipe! It was done in less than 30 minutes too. Add a side salad, maybe some garlic bread and you’ve got an awesome family dinner!

Shrimp alfredo is one of my favorite dishes. I dont make it often because husband isn’t a huge fan of alfredo and hes just as picky about his shrimp.
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven} says
My husband would lose his mind! He loves loves loves LOVES pasta with shrimp or other seafood. I’m allergic to shelled fish – so he’s lucky and gets the whole skillet or pot full for himself. I’ll have to send him the link here to your recipe and see if he wants to give it a try! It looks delicious!
Lindsey @ Redhead Baby Mama says
I never think about using canned seafood, but it’s been around for so long that people must be really using it. I’ll give it a try.
deb says
We love alfredo, but haven’t tried it with shrimp. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Rosey says
I laughed about the stirring. 2 minutes does seem a long time though, when you’re stirring. 🙂
Marina says
Two minutes of stirring can seem like an eternity, especially when you’re waiting to eat something so delicious. Two minutes is also a long time when you’re trying to keep an eye on your kids, as well.
Ben @ Cheap is the New Classy says
That looks amazing! I love that you used clam sauce. So many of these shrimp alfredo recipes are just shrimp thrown into alfredo sauce. The clam sauce really makes this.
