One Skillet Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

 

One-Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 16 ounces large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup milk
• 8 ounces dry fettuccine noodles
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• Pinch of nutmeg
• Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Shrimp

In a sauté pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Transfer the shrimp to a plate or bowl and cover to keep warm.

Step 2: Sauté the Garlic

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic (it cooks quickly).

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

Add the chicken broth, milk, and dry fettuccine noodles to the pan. Stir to separate the noodles. Once the liquid comes to a boil, cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 11 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente according to your pasta's package instructions.

Stir the noodles once halfway through to prevent sticking. Remove the lid—most of the liquid should be absorbed.

Step 4: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce

Add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg to the pan. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and stir to combine. Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.

Step 5: Serve

Garnish the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo with chopped parsley before serving.
