Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients:

• 12 oz fettuccine pasta
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

   • Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the shrimp:
   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
