Mama's Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo from Scratch

Submitted by Doxie lover in the

"Mom made this the other day and it rocked. It creates a ball and chain to the kitchen for awhile, but you could prepare some of this the day before and cut on the time. I like the parmesan mix with asiago, but you can use just plain old parmesan if you want."

Thanks for this recipe! My daughter loves Alfredo sauce, and this was a real hit with her. With still half the recipe left she is telling me that I HAVE to make that for her more often. Kudos to you! She is a very picky eater!
