Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Pasta

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

   In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

5. 5

   In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
