Ingredients
Scale
1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
12 ounces of penne pasta
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, fill water to the brim, adding a pinch of salt. Bring it to a rolling boil and add your penne pasta. Cook according to the package instructions until al dente (usually about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in your shrimp, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Using the same skillet, lower heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously until warm, then gradually mix in the Parmesan cheese, creating a smooth sauce. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, sautéed shrimp, and Alfredo sauce. Mix well to ensure every piece of pasta is coated. Transfer this lovely mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Top your pasta dish with shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Once done, remove and let it cool for a few minutes.
Notes
This Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Bake is a rich, creamy seafood delight that rivals any restaurant experience, perfect for pasta lovers.
