Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Making Fettuccine Alfredo With Shrimp is a straightforward process that can be easily followed. Here are the step-by-step instructions:

  1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving one cup of the pasta water.
  2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it thicken for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  6. Combine Pasta and Shrimp: Add the cooked fettuccine and sautéed shrimp into the sauce. Toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if desired.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish before serving.

Following these simple steps ensures that your Fettuccine Alfredo With Shrimp is delicious and satisfying!
