Ingredients

– 8 oz fettuccine pasta
– 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Shrimp Fettuccine Pasta with Homemade Alfredo Sauce is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Fettuccine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

4. Add the Cheese: Lower the heat and gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked fettuccine and shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta and shrimp in the creamy sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
