Ingredients
For the alfredo sauce
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 cups heavy/whipping cream
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs/Italian seasoning
- 500 g (1lb) fettucine
For the shrimp
- 500 g (1lb) Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente then drain. Reserve 1 cup of cooking water.
- Melt the butter in a large pan set over medium-high heat until the butter is foamy.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (approximately 30 seconds) then pour in the cream and herbs/seasoning.
- Bring the cream to a simmer. I prefer to bring the cream to a gentle simmer before adding the Parmesan. Simmer the cream and seasonings for 2-3 minutes then add the Parmesan.
- Stir the cheese into the sauce and allow to cook and melt for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels then add a drizzle of olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper and minced garlic. Stir to coat the shrimp.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp in a single layer (you might need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan). Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and just-cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the alfredo sauce and a bit of the pasta cooking water to thin out. Toss in the shrimp then serve with extra Parmesan cheese.
