Recipe Tips
Do not allow the pasta to overcook. The residual heat in the pasta will help it finish cooking.
Do not allow the shrimp to overcook; it will become rubbery. Wait until it is just pink.
Do use a block of Parmesan cheese that you grate for best results.
If your alfredo sauce is thin, add a couple of tablespoons of cream cheese to it to make it thicker.
