Ingredients

  • 12 oz (340 g) fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups (720 ml) chicken broth
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1: Cook the Shrimp

In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Garlic

Reduce the heat to medium, and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then add the fettuccine pasta. Stir occasionally and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 4: Add the Cheese and Shrimp

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the shrimp.

Step 5: Serve

Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen it.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream if you prefer a lighter version.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and a smoother sauce.

Conclusion

This One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo is a quick and delicious way to enjoy a classic comfort food without the mess of multiple pots and pans. The creamy sauce, tender pasta, and succulent shrimp make it an irresistible meal that’s sure to be a family favorite! Serve it with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete dinner.
