Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.
  • Return shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in Alfredo sauce. Add cooked fettuccine and mix well.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. Serve with a green side salad for a complete meal.
