This One Pan Shrimp Fettucinne Alfredo makes an easy weeknight meal. Ready in just 30 minutes, fettuccine noodles are coated in a creamy homemade alfredo sauce and tossed with shrimp.

Fettuccine alfredo is a family favorite. You’ll be surprised at how easy this one pan shrimp fettuccine alfredo comes together. It’s made in a single pan and has most creamy, cheesy, and authentic alfredo sauce.

One pan pasta meals are a favorite of mine. They’re quick, easy, flavorful, and feed the entire family. Plus, pasta is an inexpensive and filling ingredient to keep on hand in the pantry.

My favorite part? Less kitchen cleanup! You will literally need one saute pan to make this skillet meal. Your shrimp, pasta, and sauce are all made in a single pan.

Shrimp can be an expensive ingredient to keep on hand in your kitchen. If you prefer, you’re welcome to substitute with chicken instead. Chicken alfredo makes an equally tasty and family-friendly meal.
