What recipe could be better for a busy family than one you can whip up all in one pan! No mess, no extensive clean up; just a delicious meal ready for the family in under 40 minutes.
For this reason, we came up with the One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. A creamy, garlic sauce with beautiful shrimp and pasta. You only need a handful of ingredients to create your masterpiece. Generally, we reach for those cans of premade alfredo sauce because we think there are a ton of ingredients we just won’t have handy right, wrong! We almost guarantee you will have them right on hand.

One Pan Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo makes enough for a large family or leftover’s for the week. Just make sure to only keep leftover’s for up to three days because of the shrimp.
Since you only need to use one pan, it gives you more time to heat up that oven and toast some delicious garlic bread to soak up all that extra sauce. Who doesn’t love that?
Can I substitute the protein used in this recipe?
If you aren’t a huge shrimp fan; then we suggest using either chicken or steak. Chicken is the most popular option for alfredo but steak definitely adds a dimension of flavor you wouldn’t expect. Sometimes we want to take a break from eating meat so this recipe is perfect all by itself; without any protein.
What sides besides the garlic bread do you recommend?
Adding steam broccoli, peas, or any of your favorite vegetables goes well with this recipe. You could even add a side salad if you wanted to have starters for the family.

1 lb. Shrimp peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
