Shrimp Alfredo Pasta

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the linguine pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   While the pasta is cooking, season the shrimp with salt and red pepper flakes. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and cook the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

6. 6

   Return the shrimp to the skillet and add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the Alfredo sauce.

7. 7

   Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Adjust salt to taste.
