- Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce for about a minute.
- Add the prepared shrimp to the sauce and cook for 5-6 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper, then toss in the drained fettuccine, adding reserved pasta water if needed.
- Serve the Easy Shrimp Alfredo immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
