Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Slowly whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the Alfredo sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 8
Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet and gently toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated with the sauce.
