Shrimp Alfredo with Angel Hair Pasta Recipe
Shrimp Alfredo with Angel Hair Pasta has homemade creamy homemade sauce seasoned with garlic, shredded Parmesan cheese, and tender shrimp all stirred together with perfect al dente angel hair pasta. This recipe is easy and quick, ready in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta (or fettuccine, linguine, etc.)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons jarred minced garlic
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 pound shrimp, thawed (I buy peeled, deveined and tails removed)
- 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, cook the pasta according to the package directions, then drain using a colander.
- While the pasta is cooking, cut the cream cheese into cubes.
- Also, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the cream cheese and butter, stirring until melted. It won’t be smooth and creamy yet.
- Stir in the milk, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes or until thickened and smooth.
- Add the shrimp and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. The shrimp will be opaque and pink when cooked through.
- Stir in the drained pasta until well coated and cook until warmed through about 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For the easiest and quickest prep, I recommend buying frozen shrimp in a bag that is labeled "peeled, deveined and tails removed".
