How to Make Easy Shrimp Alfredo

  1. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 pound shrimp and 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until shrimp turn pink.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc).
  5. Cook for 1 minute, or until most of the wine has evaporated.
  6. Stir in 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade).
  7. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste and the reserved pasta water, as needed, to adjust consistency.
  8. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil if desired.
