Ingredients
FOR THE PASTA AND SHRIMP:
  • ½ package (about 8-ounces) fettucini pasta
  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp (16/25 count), peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
FOR THE ALFREDO:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cup half and half
  • 1 ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
READY THE PASTA:

  1. Have ready a large pot of water, salted, and bring the water to a roaring boil. Then, cook the fettuccini according to the package directions. While you are waiting on the water to boil, begin on your shrimp.

COOK THE SHRIMP:

  1. Pat the excess moisture away from the shrimp using a paper towel. Add the shrimp to a medium-sized mixing bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil, add spices, and toss until evenly coated. Set aside.

  2. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and allow it to come to temperature. Then, add one single layer of shrimp, leaving a bit of space in between each one.

  3. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook for about 2 minutes more on the other side. Repeat the cooking process with any remaining shrimp. The shrimp are ready when completely opaque and semi-firm to the touch. Transfer the shrimp to a plate while you make the sauce.

MAKE THE SAUCE:

  1. Reduce the heat to medium-low, melt the butter and add garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes, scraping the pan with a wooden spatula as the garlic cooks. Sprinkle flour over the garlic and stir until coated.

  2. Increase heat to medium and begin to add the half-and-half a splash at a time, stirring after each addition. Once all of the half-and-half has been incorporated, stream in the milk, whisking all the while, and simmer 5 minutes. Stir occasionally until slightly thickened.

  3. Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper, and stir once more. Set the sauce aside.

TO SERVE:

  1. Add the pasta to the alfredo sauce and toss until coated. Serve in pasta bowls or on plates. Top off your pasta with the shrimp. Serve and enjoy!
