Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Pasta Recipe

This Shrimp Alfredo Fettuccini is a major comfort food. There’s just something about a mountain of pasta consumed by rich creamy sauce, and studded with large, tender shrimp that has my name written all over it. It reminds me of my favorite dish at Olive Garden; seafood Alfredo.

I sent some leftovers of this pasta to my sisters house and she called me soon after to ask if I had posted it on my blog yet, adding, “This is better than any restaurant Alfredo I’ve ever tried!” It’s a winner.

Not to mention, the price you pay for 1 plate of this at Olive Garden could feed a family of six. It’s also surprisingly easy to make and is ready in under 30 minutes. My son LOVES it and I don’t have to remind him 100 times to take another bite.

Watch How to Make Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Pasta:

Ingredients for Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Pasta:

3/4 lb fettuccine or penne pasta
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 Tbsp oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 Tbsp butter
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup white wine (I used Ste Chapelle Chardonay ~$6)*
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
S&P to taste
Sprinkle of paprika
Parsley or basil for garnish if desired

*Want to Substitute the Wine?

No problem! Omit the white wine and squeeze some lemon juice into the sauce after adding the cream, adding the lemon juice to taste (about 1/2 medium lemon) then season to taste with salt, pepper and paprika. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice, not concentrate.

How to make Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Pasta:

1. Cook 3/4 lb fettuccini noodles in salted water according to package instructions and drain. Don’t rinse (this helps the sauce stick to the noodles better).

2. Lightly season shrimp with salt, pepper and paprika. Preheat a large skillet to med/high and add 1 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1-2 min per side or just until fully cooked and no longer translucent. They should be golden/pink on the outside and opaque white on the inside. Don’t over-do it or they will be rubbery. Remove shrimp to a separate bowl.

3. In same pan, over medium/high heat, add 2 Tbsp butter and onion and sauté onion till golden. Stir in garlic and sauté another minute. Stir in 1/3 cup white wine and reduce to 25% scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan.

4.Stir in Cream and simmer for 2 min. Next, sprinkle the top with 1/3 cup parmesan (or add to taste) and stir just until creamy and smooth and remove from heat. Don’t boil or the cheese will separate from the cream. Add about 1/4 tsp paprika and season with S&P to taste.

5. Add the cooked shrimp and drained (un-rinsed pasta). Garnish with parsley, basil, extra parmesan or freshly cracked pepper if desired.

    This recipe was very tasty! However, I did not use any wine. I want to cook this dish again and was wondering if champagne is a good substitute for the chardonnay. Does it make a significant difference if I use champagne? I don’t know much about wine, hence my question.

      Hi Lizette, to be honest, I’ve never tried making this recipe with champagne so I can’t say for sure. If you test it, make sure it’s not a sweet champagne. I’ve seen other recipes online that utilize champagne but I just haven’t tested it to say for sure.

It’s amazing! It’s hands down the best alfredo sauce I’ve ever tasted, and I can’t believe that I made it from scratch! Thank you for this recipe. I can’t wait to make it again soon.

    Can one use half-and-half instead of heavy cream? My problem is that it always seems to curdle (or lump) and (most of the time) I end up adding an egg yoke which only partly ameliorates the problem. It can get yucky fast.

      I think half and half would be an ok substitute. I use it to make my chicken and mushroom alfredo and I do like that it is a lighter sauce with half and half.

        May 13, 2016

        Thnx, that’s what I generally use …. but any thoughts about the curdling issue? I’m an improvisatory … (too lazy to get the right amounts of the right ingredients together) cook and, as I say, generally (but not always) get lumps and curdled cheese in the end result.

        As I think of it, I often dust the shrimp with flour before I saute them because I like a little crust … perhaps this is my problem.

        Any fool proof way to bust up a lumpy sauce?

        Thanks so much for your advice.

          I have found that curdled cheese can result from overcooking the sauce once the cheese is in. You only want the cheese to melt and if you continue to heat it after adding it, it will become lumpy. I hope that helps! Also, I have found that butter helps with this issue so don’t skip the butter 🙂

            OK Svetlana and Natasha! No (additional) heat after the cheese!!! Made it Sunday night! It was a “hit” but who really knows … sauce was curdled but it tasted fine. Like the idea of Bacon also Cayenne. Onward and upward, thanks.

      I have found that if you try to cook pre-cooked shrimp they shrink and become rubbery. It’s doable but I’d recommend using raw shrimp for best results.

      I used to cook with cooking wine but it’s not nearly as good as a drinkable wine. We don’t drink but a good rule of thumb is to cook with a wine you could drink. There are additives in cooking wine that make it disgusting to drink. It will always taste better with a real wine :).

    Hello Natasha! Have made this recipe a few times, and we LOVED it! I have a question though. You mentioned some where that you don’t drink alcohol but do use it in your recipes. What do you do with the open bottles of red, or white wine? Do you keep them in the fridge, pantry, or do you just toss them? I never know what to do with my opened wine bottles because I don’t cook with wine every week.

    I have an honest question because I am not very good at cooking. What do you mean by reducing to 25%? I hope that’s not a dumb question but I am looking forward to serving this to my family this weekend and want to be prepared.
    Thank you!

      It means 1/4 (25%) of the liquid should be left in the pan and 75% of the liquid should have evaporated out. It’s a totally legitimate question 🙂

    My wife and I loved this recipe, it was delicious and fun to make. I did play add 2 cloves of garlic instead of 1, doubled the amount of parm in the alfredo, and added some lemon juice for a little acidity. Next time I’ll add some mushrooms too. It was excellent and would highly recommend to anyone.

    A lot better than what I had originally expected going in to it. So thank you so much for sharing. If I make it again I’ll definitely add some lemon juice or some type of season to spice it up or give it more flavor. Definitely a crowd pleaser. Thanks so much.

      From what I understand, moscato is a sweet wine and I wouldn’t recommend a sweet wine for this. Do you have any dry white wines?

      The white wine does add really nice flavor and most of the alcohol is cooked out, but you can just use chicken broth instead.

      I wouldn’t recommend using cooking wine. There are additives in cooking wine that would alter the flavor. If you do use it, I’d suggest using less, but this recipe is best with a good drinkable white wine.

    I just recently discovered your site and I instantly fell in love.❤ I was looking for a white sauce pasta dish and I ended up seeing your creamy shrimp pasta. I tried it out (I tagged you in my instagram hihi) and well I know it’s not as good as how yours would have tasted haha but I was satisfied and so were the people who ate it. I love how easy your instructions are and the pictures. I’ve used alternatives though on some ingredients that are not readily available or are quite expensive but the results I think are pretty similar. I’m not sure how the real thing tastes so maybe you can share some alternatives to some ingredients? I googled them myself but I was thinking it would have been better to hear from you as you’d know the best alternative. Anyway, I plan to try out your other dishes in the next coming days. Thanks for sharing this blog!

    P.S you have a lovely family and I’m happy to know you are Christians too! Godbless you always! ✌

    Hi Natasha! I like your recipe and found many of your tips very helpful. In efforts to eat sustainably, I find doubling one’s recipes can make a difference. Leftovers last twice as long, and the energy used is less than if one were to cook multiple meals. Saving leftovers and turning them into new meals for yourself and others also saves energy and reduces waste!

      We don’t drink either but I do cook with white wine. It adds amazing flavor. I always hope that the church pastor doesn’t find me in the liquor aisle at the store. It was particularly awkward a couple weeks ago being in line with a bottle of wine (for cooking ofcourse) and having a big ol pregnancy belly too. :-O. lol. Anyway, to answer your question. It isn’t absolutely necessary but it does add nice flavor 🙂 It’s kind of like the secret ingredient in a good alfredo sauce.

      We don’t drink alcohol either, but I sure love to cook with it. It adds alot of good flavor, but you can replace it with stock – either chicken or vegetable broth will do :). It also helps to deglaze the pan.

    Ok, so… Shrimp Alfredo is one of my all-time favorite Alfredo dishes. Every time I go somewhere that offers a variety of it, you can bet I get it. Olive Garden’s Seafood Alfredo and Chili’s Cajun Pasta with Shrimp are my two favorites.

    That said… this recipe just blew them both out of the water. I was a little wary using the wine – Neither my husband nor I have ever cooked with wine before and have not acquired the taste to drink wine. But, referring to all the successful reviews, we went with it and it was incredible. Will be making this again!

    Alterations to recipe:
    – Instead of regular table salt, we used Lawrey’s Seasoned Salt.
    – Instead of sprinkling paprika, we doubled the amount in the sauce… making it, instead of a creamy white, more of a creamy white with the hint of orangey-red that paprika gives. We like it a little more flavorful.
    – We did not garnish with parsley or basil…. Not that we’re against it… just didn’t do it 🙂

    I give this a 5-Star rating. Thank you so much for sharing it and making our dinner and night wonderful~
