Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
Gradually whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the Alfredo sauce. Let them heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the shrimp Alfredo immediately over pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread. Enjoy!
