This will be my go to alfredo recipe from now on. Came out perfect and was so fast and simple. I only gave 4 stars b/c I did change a couple things. I used 1/2 lb. pasta and halved rest of ingredients except garlic and cheese. I also subbed 1/4 tsp. dried italian seasoning for the parsley as I didn't have any and added a splash of white wine. Also marinated the shrimp briefly in lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, zinfandel, cayenne and seafood seasoning which gave it great flavor. This dish tastes great w/ fresh pepper and a little more cheese on top.

Thanks, Marie. This was a delicious dinner. And really quick. I made as written except that I used already cooked, medium size shrimp. I just put them in the sauce at the last minute to warm. And I added a touch of sherry. HE really liked it. I'll make this again! . . . Janet

I made this along with some garlic toast and your right Marie, it is fantastic! I will be making often. I used the larger shrimp for a real treat. I also added some chopped chives and some lemon. My DD ate 2 helpings and she's only 3! Thanks for sharing this great recipe with us Marie!

I made this last night. I doubled all ingredients except for the pasta. It was full of flavor, looked great and everyone loved it. It was also very easy to make, thanks for posting.
