Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine or penne or bows
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 12 oz raw shrimp thawed and deveined
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ⅔ cup shredded Parmesan
- cracked black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ½ tbsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Cook the pasta as per the packet instructions in a large pan of salted water. Reserve a little of the cooking water to finish the sauce.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, skillet or shallow casserole over a medium high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, cook the shrimp for a few minutes on each side until just pink. Towards the end of cooking, stir in half the minced garlic. Once fragrant, remove the garlicky shrimp from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the butter to the pan. Once it is melted and foaming, add the remaining garlic and cook for a minute until soft and fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to medium low to simmer and wait for the pasta to finish cooking.
- Stir the cooked pasta into the garlicky cream, then stir the cooked shrimp and shredded parmesan into the mixture. Stir until the sauce is thick and has coated the pasta: add cooking water if the sauce is too thick, or there is not enough of it.
- Season with black pepper, and more salt if needed.
- Serve in warm bowls with the parsley and red pepper flakes.
Notes
- You can store leftover shrimp alfredo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When re-heating, add a tablespoon or two of water or milk if needed to thin the sauce out.
