👨🍳 Instructions:
1. 🍝 Cook the Fettuccine:
Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Once it’s perfectly al dente, drain and set aside.
2. 🧈 Prepare the Shrimp:
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. 🌿
Next, add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn a beautiful pink color. Be careful not to overcook! 🦐
Once done, remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
3. 🥛 Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In the same pan, pour the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into a creamy, velvety sauce. 🧀
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
4. 🍝 Combine the Ingredients:
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the pan, tossing it gently to coat every strand with the luscious sauce.
Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and gently toss them with the pasta and sauce.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are heated through.
5. 🌿 Garnish and Serve:
Remove the pan from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. 🌿
Serve the creamy shrimp fettuccine immediately while it’s still hot and delicious. Enjoy your meal! 🍽️
💡 Chef’s Tips:
-
Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Cooking shrimp for too long will make them rubbery and tough. Keep an eye on them to maintain their tender texture.
-
Use Freshly Grated Parmesan: Pre-grated cheese may not melt as smoothly as freshly grated Parmesan.
-
Adjust Creaminess: If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it up.
