How to make Shrimp Alfredo:
Cook pasta according to package instructions, drain and set aside. Grate parmesan cheese and set aside to come to room temperature. This will help it melt smoothly in the sauce. Make Alfredo Sauce: Melt butter in a large pan then add garlic, stirring frequently for one minute then pour in cream, bringing to a simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Whisk in parmesan cheese over low until smooth then season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss in noodles. Cook Shrimp: Season shrimp with salt and pepper then melt a tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes. Serve noodles with a scoop of shrimp on top then garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with crusty bread and a wedge salad.
Recipe Variations:
Lighter Alfredo Sauce: Replace the heavy cream with whole milk or half and half. It won’t be as creamy, so you can thicken it up with a cornstarch slurry. For an even healthier version, use the sauce in my Skinny Chicken Alfredo recipe. Add More Seafood: Top with Seared Scallops to make delicious seafood alfredo. Add Chicken: I love to toss in grilled chicken for a Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo. Vegetables: Add steamed broccoli right before serving, or any of your favorite cooked vegetables. Cajun: Sprinkle shrimp with cajun seasoning before cooking then add ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper to the alfredo sauce, or more if spicy.
