Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to package directions.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium low heat.
- Add the cream and simmer for 4-5 minutes or until just thickened - do not boil.
- Whisk in the parmesan cheese, stirring continuously, until cheese has melted.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium high heat.
- Add the shrimp to the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Add the garlic to the pan and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Drain the pasta and toss with the alfredo sauce. Arrange the shrimp on top and sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
Notes
- I recommend using large or extra large shrimp for this dish. Choose shrimp that are 26-30 per pound or 31-35 per pound count.
- If you’re looking for a nicer presentation, leave the tails on. However, if you’re leaning towards easier eating versus elegant presentation, remove the tails prior to cooking.
- It’s important to use freshly grated parmesan cheese as it will melt better in the sauce. Pre-grated cheese from the store often contains preservatives and anti caking agents.
