Preparation Steps
- To a large (12 inch) skillet over medium-high heat, add the salted butter. Once the butter has melted, add the shrimp to the skillet in an even layer.
- Cook the shrimp on the first side for 2 minutes, then flip the shrimp over to the other side and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until cooked through. Be sure to not overcook the shrimp or they will become tough.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds or until the garlic is fragrant.
- Using tongs, or a slotted spoon, remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and place onto a plate, being sure to keep the juices in the skillet. Set aside.
- Turn the heat to the skillet down to medium and add the alfredo sauce. Stir to combine the alfredo sauce with the juices in the skillet from the cooked shrimp.
- Add the cooked fettuccine noodles to the skillet and toss to fully coat the noodles with the sauce.
- Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and gently toss with the alfredo sauce coated fettuccine noodles. At this point you can add 0.25-0.5 cup of the pasta water from the boiled fettuccine noodles to thin the sauce if needed before serving.
