Creamy Shrimp Alfredo Casserole
A delicious oven-baked dish combining fettuccine, shrimp, and alfredo sauce, topped with melting cheese for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine Dry
- 1 lb Peeled shrimp Peeled and deveined
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic Minced
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese Shredded or thinly sliced
- 0.5 cups Parmesan Grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley Chopped
- Salt To taste after adding sauces and cheese
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente.
- In a skillet, sauté the shrimp in a mix of garlic and butter until they turn pink and are cooked through.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine, sautéed shrimp, and alfredo sauce, tossing everything together until well mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and top it with a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Cooking
- Place the casserole in the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Continue baking as necessary until the center is hot and the edges are bubbling. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, and enjoy the creamy goodness!
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Warm dairy gently and stir until smooth. Hard boiling can separate a creamy sauce. Add a splash of milk or pasta water if it becomes too thick to coat the filling. Keep the pasta slightly firm before baking and reserve some cheese for the topping. Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables.
