Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 12 ounces fettuccine (uncooked, broken in half)
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add them to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until pink and fully cooked. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter to the pan along with the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.

Step 5

Add the uncooked fettuccine to the liquid, ensuring it is submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Once the pasta is cooked and the sauce has thickened, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the pot, gently tossing them with the pasta and sauce to heat through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your One Pot Shrimp Alfredo!
