Scrumptious and easy Shrimp Alfredo is pan sautéed shrimp and fettuccine pasta in a creamy garlic Parmesan cheese sauce. It is the perfect company worthy meal that is quick enough to make for a weeknight dinner. This is one of mine and my daughter’s favorite recipes. I love to serve this delicious recipe with Cheese Garlic Bread, Oven Roasted Parmesan Asparagus, or a fresh garden salad. Take it over the top and serve with a glass of Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
