Lemon Garlic Shrimp Fettuccine
This creamy LEMON GARLIC SHRIMP FETTUCCINE is easy to whip up and so tasty!
Raise your hand if you’re a white sauce pasta kind of person! I’m there with you. The red sauce doesn’t really do it for me so I never, ever make spaghetti at my house. But give me a pile of noodles topped with a creamy white sauce and I’m in heaven!
If you like chicken fettuccine alfredo and love shrimp, then this dish is going to be your new favorite! First, you’re going to saute some shrimp with butter and minced garlic until the shrimp is cooked through. After that, just set the shrimp aside while you whip up that ultra-creamy lemon white sauce. Before you know it, the sauce is done and you’re ready to pour it over a big batch of tender fettuccine noodles and top it off with that garlic butter shrimp. Throw a little chopped parsley on top and you’ve got one tasty meal that will please the whole family!

Tuscan Garlic Chicken Fettuccine
Made this last night and my husband absolutely loves it! He told me we should make this often. We live in northern MN and shrimp super expensive unless it’s on sale! Recipe a keeper for sure!
Awesome!! Repeat meals do make it so much easier to recipe plan for the week so keeping shrimp in the freezer when you can get a good price on it is always a great idea.
Two thumbs up with that one… A winning dish on the table every time it is served..
I’m sorry to see that it’s 2 thumps up with a 3 star rating! 🙂 Either way I am so happy that you and those you shared with enjoyed this recipe, thank you so much.
