How to make Easy Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo from scratch

Ingredients

I love Fettuccine Alfredo, but never thought I could make it from scratch but now I have friends and family members who request that I make it...

Things You'll Need

• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
• 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter
• 3/4 cups milk
• 8 oz box Fettuccine noodles
• frozen salad shrimp (cooked, peeled, deveined)- optional

Instructions

1. Cook fettuccine per box instructions.

2. While fettuccine is cooking, heat & stir the first 4 ingredients in a large pan until melted and well mixed.

   Heat on medium to medium low. You want the sauce to get done about the same time as the fettuccine.

3. OPTIONAL:

   If you would like to make Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo you will need a 16 oz bag of frozen salad shrimp (store brand is fine). If you get the peeled - cooked - deveined frozen shrimp (tails off) it will make it easier.

   In the last minute or two you will put the frozen shrimp in the pot of boiling water that has your pasta in it. The shrimp is all ready cooked, so it just needs to heat up.

4. Drain shrimp/pasta and stir in sauce. Serve with salad and soft bread sticks.
