I love this shrimp fettucine recipe because it’s quick, easy, and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) box dry fettuccine pasta
- ½ cup butter, divided
- 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 cups milk
- 1 (8 ounce) package grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 (3.5 ounce) jar prepared basil pesto
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettucine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and garlic; cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining butter to the skillet and let melt. Stir in cream cheese and garlic powder until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in milk and Parmesan cheese until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes more. Season with pepper.
Step 3
Fold pesto into the cream sauce. Drain fettuccine and toss with sauce.
