Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

Shrimp is another favorite in my household. I've been eating shrimp as far back as I can remember. I also love Alfredo sauce. It's just so good! I just had to include this recipe.

INGREDIENTS
1 pound fettuccine pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 pound cooked shrimp - peeled and deveined
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup half-and-half
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
salt to taste

DIRECTIONS


1.Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

2.In a large skillet, saute shrimp and garlic in the butter for about one minute. Pour in half and half; stir. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese in one tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly. After all Parmesan is added, mix in parsley and salt. Stir frequently making sure it does not boil. Sauce will take a while to thicken.


3.When sauce has thickened, combine with cooked pasta noodles; serve hot. Serves 5.
