Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and add the butter. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to simmer.
Add the Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Toss the spiralized zucchini noodles into the Alfredo sauce in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything to coat with the sauce.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
