Ingredient Notes

  • Shrimp: Use thawed or fresh large shrimp. Peeled and deveined shrimp save prep time.
  • Fettuccine: You can substitute with spaghetti or linguine if preferred.
  • Butter & Flour: These are used to make the roux, which thickens the Alfredo sauce.
  • Half and Half: For a lighter version, you can get away with whole milk.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-grated and is always preferred.
  • Parsley: A fresh garnish that adds a pop of color. It’s optional, but can make you look like a pro if you are aiming to impress.

What Shrimp to Buy

Use large or jumbo-sized raw shrimp for this recipe. Fresh is preferred, but lots of people don’t have access to that. Frozen shrimp works just as well. To thaw, place the shrimp in the refrigerator for about 8-10 hours. For a quicker method, submerge the shrimp in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes until thawed, which typically takes about 1 to 2 hours.

Purchasing shrimp that are already peeled and deveined is highly recommended. It’s a widely available option and makes it so easy!

Removing the tails before cooking is a matter of personal preference. Tails help shrimp cook more evenly and also add flavor to sauces, but that does come at a price: you have to cut the tails off as you eat your pasta. If it’s something you hate about shrimp pastas, definitely remove them before cooking. You’ll still have a delicious pasta!

Storage and Reheating Instructions

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezing is not recommended for this type of sauce as it will break and separate from the fats as it thaws.

Reheat on the stovetop in a skillet over low heat. Add a splash of milk to help restore the creamy texture of the sauce.

Reheating in the microwave is not recommended for shrimp as it causes the shrimp to become overcooked and rubbery.
