This One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo is a creamy and satisfying dish that’s easy to prepare and requires minimal cleanup. Here’s how you can make this delicious meal:

Ingredients:

• 8 oz (225g) fettuccine pasta
• 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Fettuccine:
   • In a large pan, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the fettuccine pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Shrimp:
   • In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the pan and set them aside.
3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
   • In the same pan, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
   • Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
4. Combine and Season:
   • Return the cooked fettuccine to the pan with the Alfredo sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce to coat evenly.
   • Add the cooked shrimp back to the pan and gently toss them with the pasta.
5. Season and Garnish:
   • Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. If you like a bit of heat, you can also sprinkle some red pepper flakes.
   • Garnish the One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the dish immediately, while it’s still warm. The creamy Alfredo sauce perfectly coats the fettuccine and shrimp, creating a delightful combination of flavors and textures.
