Ingredients

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 head broccoli, cut into florets

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 (16-ounce) package fettuccine pasta

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Cook fettuccine in a large pot of salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Steam broccoli until just tender but still bright green, about 5–7 minutes. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and garlic; sauté for 3–5 minutes until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from skillet.

In the same skillet, add heavy cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer (not boil) for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add cooked pasta, steamed broccoli, and shrimp back to the skillet. Toss gently to coat in Alfredo sauce.

Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Add red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Substitute broccoli with spinach, asparagus, or peas.

Use half-and-half for a lighter sauce (note: sauce will be thinner).

Swap fettuccine with penne, linguine, or your favorite pasta.

Not freezer-friendly—best enjoyed fresh or within 3 days.
