Shrimp and Portobello Mushroom Fettuccine

"This is an easy dish and can be made with different variations. It's also good with chicken breasts, or other seafood such as crawfish tails, scallions or crab meat. Also great with angel hair pasta instead of fettuccine noodles. Sliced white mushrooms can be used if preferred. Hope you enjoy as much as my family does!"

Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

Flavor stand-ins for the clove

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (butter, mushroom, onion, garlic, cream cheese, flour, cream):

  1. Capersbetter flavor fit
  2. Thymebetter flavor fit
  3. Jalapenobetter flavor fit
  4. Clovethe original

Fit is the average pairing score against butter, mushroom, onion, garlic, cream cheese, flour, cream. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
