INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Prepare the Pasta: In a large skillet or pan, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, and set aside.
2. Sauté the Shrimp: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or spices to taste.
4. Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy Alfredo sauce until well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and gently toss to combine.
5. Serve and Garnish: Once everything is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
