Ingredients

1 lb frozen precooked shrimp (peeled, deveined and defrosted)
2 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese
16 oz fettuccine cooked
1 tablespoon fresh parsley optional

Instructions

Sauté frozen precooked shrimp in butter in a pot over medium high heat for 2 minutes.
Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Add the heavy cream to the skillet with the shrimp. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Reduce heat to low. Whisk in the parmesan cheese a little at a time until fully melted and the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Serve over cooked fettuccine and top with fresh parsley and more parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

Serve with garlic bread and a salad.
