Ingredients
1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp garlic (minced)
8 oz fettuccine (uncooked)
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup whole milk
1½ cups heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
Salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Sauté shrimp: In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Build the sauce: In the same pan, melt butter and add minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add liquids and pasta: Pour in chicken broth, whole milk, and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer. Add uncooked fettuccine and stir to submerge the noodles.
Cook pasta: Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and liquid has thickened slightly.
Add cheese and shrimp: Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Add cooked shrimp back into the pan. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh or frozen shrimp—just make sure they’re peeled and deveined.
Add spinach or mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.
If sauce gets too thick, add a splash of milk or broth to loosen.
Nutmeg enhances the creaminess of the Alfredo sauce—don’t skip it!
Great served with garlic bread and a crisp green salad.
