Rich and creamy shrimp fettuccine Alfredo made with juicy shrimp, parmesan cheese, garlic, and homemade Alfredo sauce in just 30 minutes.
For the Pasta
8 ounces fettuccine pasta
For the Shrimp
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Homemade Alfredo Sauce
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Step 1: Cook the Fettuccine
Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Shrimp
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce
Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta and toss well until evenly coated in the Alfredo sauce.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes until heated through.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
Do not overcook the shrimp or they may become rubbery.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.
For extra flavor, add red pepper flakes or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Serve with garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
