Ingredients
– 12 oz. fettuccine
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 12 tablespoons salted butter
– 1 lb. jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined

Instructions
1-Getting Shrimp Alfredo right: starts with simple steps that anyone can follow. First, gather your ingredients and prep the shrimp by peeling and deveining if needed. This helps everything move smoothly once you start cooking.
2-Next, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the fettuccine, and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Then drain it without rinsing to keep the starches that help the sauce stick. In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat.
3-Add the seasoned shrimp, cooking for about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes until pink, then set it aside. In the same skillet, pour in 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and the remaining 10 tablespoons butter, cooking on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese until smooth.
4-Return the shrimp and pasta to the skillet, toss everything with the sauce, and mix in 1/2 cup chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve right away with extra cheese and parsley on top. This method ensures a creamy, flavorful result that fits a 30-minute prep time.
