Description
A warm, creamy bake loaded with garlic-scented shrimp and gooey cheese, this dish combines fast weeknight cooking with restaurant-style flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente; drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink and opaque, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, shrimp, Alfredo sauce, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Toss gently.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and shredded mozzarella. Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Garnish with parsley and let rest 3–5 minutes.
Notes
Pair with a crisp green salad or sautéed green beans. Reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed.
