Print Recipe

A delightful dish combining rich shrimp flavors with a velvety homemade Alfredo sauce, perfect for family dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the Fettuccine: Start by boiling a pot of salted water. Once it comes to a rolling boil, add the fettuccine pasta. Cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain the pasta when done and set it aside in a bowl.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Carefully add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
  3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally, ensuring not to boil the cream.
  5. Incorporate the Cheese: Lower the heat to low and gradually add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until the sauce is creamy and the cheese has melted.
  6. Combine the Shrimp and Fettuccine: Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the cooked fettuccine pasta. Toss everything together and allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top. Serve hot.
