1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Bring a big pot of water to a boil to make the fettuccine. Add the fettuccine spaghetti and a touch of salt. Cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain and set aside after cooking.
Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat to cook the shrimp—Sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Cook the shrimp on each side for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Take the cooked shrimp out of the pan and leave aside.
Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: Heat the heavy cream to a gentle simmer in the same pan.
Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Return the cooked fettuccine to the pan with the Alfredo sauce to combine and season. To coat the pasta evenly, toss it in the sauce.
Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and gently stir with the pasta.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley to add color and flavor to the One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo.
