Alfredo dishes have always been among my favorites in Italian cuisine. I love chicken alfredo and Shrimp alfredo is no different, this recipe is delicious. The alfredo sauce is very simple and probably a bit healthier than most. You can adjust this recipe to your taste. I always like to add a lot of garlic and parmesan. This is a very easy dish and should be on the table in less than 1 hour. As you can probably see from the pictures, I used cooked shrimp instead of raw. Either one will work fine. If the shrimp is already pre-cooked I would recommend putting it in the sauce to simmer for a few seconds just before itās done. You donāt want to overcook the shrimp.Ā Serve with garlic bread. Enjoy.

Looks de-lish! I love shrimp alfredo better than chicken ;o)
I’ve gone the precooked shrimp route before too…its handy when you don’t have a lot of time!

I love creamy pasta! Looks so delicious with the shrimps.
It sounds delicious and so easy to make.
Gorgeous recipe, shrimp alfredo is one of my favorite guilty pleasures!
That shrimp with pasta looks great!
Hi,
I made about double of this recipe….after tossing in the shrimp but before adding the milk/cornstarch mixture, I added 5 large thinly sliced mushrooms, and a little broth(chicken), and cooked it low with the cover on the skillet….then added the milk mixture after about 5 minutes. It came out DE LISH OUS!
Another delicious recipe. This looks just lovely!
I loved this recipe. I also added broccoli and it made the recipe even better. Me and my nine children enjoyed it very much.
I have mainly tried your baking recipes. This is the first dinner recipe I’ve attempted from your site, and it was so simple! For 1 1/2 lbs shrimp, I doubled everything in the recipe, except for the Parmesan cheese, and added 2 long stalks of celery, diced into small cubes, for extra moisture and flavor which I sauteed along with the onions and garlic. I put in about 1/2 c. minced fresh parsley (use 1/4 c. if not doubling the recipe) and it really adds a kick to the dish.
Now I can see why you did not cook too much, because the leftovers from this dish probably do not heat up as well. Your portions are already perfect for 2 large servings. The instructions were incredibly easy. Thank you.
This recipe was soooo amazingly good!!! I made it for my honey who loves alfredo sauce and is very picky. I used heavy whipping cream instead of milk because I like the sauce to be a little creamier. Thanks š
I like the sound of adding shrimp top an Alfredo pasta!
Bobby this was delicious! I can’t wait to try your shrimp scampi!

Hi, I was googling for shrimp Alfredo with milk recipe and came upon your page. Thank you for such a good and easy recipe. My husband was skeptical and wanted to get a jar of ready made Alfredo sauce but I wanted to try this out. Once this one was done, he said it was the best decision ever since it turned out delicious! Thanks so much for sharing š
