Tips:

  • Use Fresh Shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Cook them until they are just opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Use High-Quality Alfredo Sauce: A good Alfredo sauce will make all the difference in this dish. Look for a sauce that is made with real cream and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add Vegetables: Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to this dish. Use a variety of vegetables, such as broccoli, zucchini, and carrots.
  • Season to Taste: Be sure to season the dish with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
