Cook Time: 20 minutes

Prep Time: 15 minutes

• 8-10  ounces uncooked fettuccine
• 1 pound shrimp (31-40 count size) thawed & peeled, tails optional
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 ounces cream cheese softened & cut into smaller pieces
• 3/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 large cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1. If shrimp is frozen, run under hot water for 5-10 minutes to dethaw.
2. Take the cream cheese out of the fridge to soften up.
3. Start boiling the fettucine. Cook al dente according to package directions.
