👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Sear the Shrimp

In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until pink, opaque, and lightly golden.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside.

2️⃣ Sauté Garlic for Aromatics

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp of unsalted butter and melt it gently.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).

3️⃣ Add Liquids & Fettuccine

Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream.
Stir well to combine.
Add 8 oz of dry fettuccine, breaking the noodles in half if needed to fit the pan.
Simmer uncovered over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.

4️⃣ Add Cheese & Seasonings

Once the pasta is cooked, reduce heat to low and stir in 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (optional) to enhance the richness of the sauce.

5️⃣ Bring Back the Shrimp

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.
Gently toss everything together to coat the shrimp and pasta evenly in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Let it warm for 1–2 minutes.

6️⃣ Garnish & Serve

Turn off the heat.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a bright finish.
Serve hot, directly from the pan — family-style, romantic dinner, or fancy solo treat. 🍷

💡 Chef's Tips

• Use raw, not pre-cooked shrimp for the best texture and flavor.

• Want more depth? Add a splash of white wine when sautéing garlic.

• Make it spicy with a pinch of red pepper flakes.

• Stir frequently when cooking pasta in the sauce to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
