![](https://i0.wp.com/marciascottagebythesea.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/8B28269E-7A2D-453E-9CDF-E460AE75DED6.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&ssl=1)
Ingredients
- Fettuccine pasta
- Shrimp (I used frozen 31-40 count per pound size shrimp. You could use smaller or larger. If using smaller ones, take care not to overcook them)
- Butter (unsalted)
- Cream cheese (for added texture and tangy taste)
- Heavy cream
- Chicken broth (for added flavor)
- Garlic
- Parmesan cheese

Shrimp preparation:
- If the shrimp are frozen, place them in a colander and thaw them under cool running water.
- Peel them (if they’re not already peeled). You can either take the tails off or leave them on depending on your preference.

Directions
- Add the butter, cream cheese, heavy cream, chicken broth, and garlic to a skillet over medium heat. Cook it for 5 minutes;
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and let it bubble for about a minute;
- Add the shrimp and cook for 5-6 minutes;
- Season to taste and toss with the pasta.
