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 grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • parsley for garnish

How To Make One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

  1. In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt two tablespoons of butter. Once the butter is hot, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they become opaque. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate or bowl and cover to keep warm.
  2. Add the remaining butter and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds, making sure not to burn the garlic (it cooks quickly).
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, milk, and fettuccine noodles. Stir the noodles to separate them. Once the liquid comes to a boil, cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for approximately 11 minutes (or until the noodles are al dente according to your pasta’s package directions).
  4. Stir the noodles once halfway through the cooking process to ensure they don’t stick together. Remove the lid and you should notice that most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  5. Now, it’s time to add the heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir everything together until the cheese is melted. Then, add the cooked shrimp back into the pan and stir to combine.
  6. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This will give the sauce a chance to thicken and become even more flavorful.
  7. Finally, garnish your One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo with some fresh parsley before serving.

Enjoy this delicious and hassle-free meal with your loved ones! It’s perfect for a cozy dinner at home or for impressing friends and family with your cooking skills. Bon appétit!
