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)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve the shrimp Alfredo immediately over pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread. Enjoy!
