Indulge in creamy shrimp fettuccine pasta with homemade alfredo sauce! This dish marries succulent shrimp and rich flavors, all crafted through easy steps for a delightful meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth, creating your homemade Alfredo sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Step 5: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Add the drained fettuccine pasta and toss everything together until well coated.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley on top. Enjoy your creamy shrimp fettuccine pasta!

Notes

  • To store leftover creamy shrimp fettuccine, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; be sure to let it cool completely before sealing.
  • When reheating, gently warm the pasta on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to restore its creamy texture and prevent it from drying out.
  • For an extra touch, serve your creamy shrimp fettuccine with a side of garlic bread and a fresh green salad for a complete meal that balances flavors and textures beautifully.
  • For the best flavor, make sure to sauté the garlic just until fragrant before adding the shrimp—this will enhance the overall taste of your Alfredo sauce without burning the garlic.
