Homemade Garlic Shrimp Alfredo Recipe With Pan-Seared Shrimp

Susie’s Garlic Shrimp  Alfredo: A Flavor Explosion!

My wife's recipe takes the rich, creamy comfort of Alfredo and infuses it with the vibrant, flavorfully seasoned shrimp. The star of this dish is our homemade garlic Alfredo sauce, a surprisingly easy and incredibly flavorful twist on a classic. We're using raw, pan-seared shrimp in this recipe, making it a fantastic way to kick your flavors up another level for this meal.

For the Homemade Garlic Alfredo Sauce:

  1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

  1 tablespoon minced garlic

  1 tablespoon fish & Veggie seasoning

  Roasted Garlic and rosemary seasoning

  3 cups heavy whipping cream

  4 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  Salt & Pepper to taste

Ingredients for the Rest of the Dish:

  Cooked pasta of your choice (fettuccine, or rotini work well. For this one I used linguine), about 1 pound

  2 lbs raw Argentina Red shrimp

  ½ shallot, finely minced 

Instructions:

Season the shrimp with Roasted garlic and rosemary Seasoning and some Fish and Veggie seasoning. Pan sear for 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.

  Make the garlic Alfredo Sauce: In a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  Stir in the Fish and Veggie seasoning and cook for another 30 seconds, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aroma. 

  Pour in the heavy whipping cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

  Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

PRO TIP: To get your sauce extra silky, add a ½ block of cream cheese.

  Stir in the Italian seasoning. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed (you may want a little more salt or pepper, but remember the fish and veggie seasoning is adequately flavorful). Keep the sauce warm over low heat.

  Assemble the Dish: Cook your pasta according to package directions. Drain well.

  Add the cooked pasta and shrimp  to the warm Alfredo sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly. Garnish with fresh basil and more parmesan if desired.

  Serve: Divide the cajun shrimp  Alfredo among plates or bowls.
