Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free fettuccine pasta
• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently. Gradually add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, continuing to stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Season the sauce with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and stir to coat them in the sauce. Let them warm through in the sauce for about 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the drained gluten-free fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to ensure that the pasta is completely covered in the alfredo sauce.

Step 8

Transfer the shrimp fettuccine alfredo onto serving plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the full flavor and richness of the dish.
