Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • for garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Grater for Parmesan cheese (optional)

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the fettuccine, and cook until al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque (2-3 minutes per side), then set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat. Return the shrimp to the skillet, stir gently, and heat through for a minute or two.
  5. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients whenever possible for the best flavor. Don’t skip on the seasoning; it enhances the natural flavors. Reserve a bit of pasta water for adjusting the sauce's consistency if it gets too thick. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and taste even better the next day! Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream to restore creaminess. Avoid microwaving to prevent the shrimp from becoming tough.
