Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the Alfredo sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet and gently toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated with the sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve hot.
