Easy Shrimp Alfredo
An easy shrimp alfredo that's made in 20 minutes with minimal prep work. Broccoli is optional but delicious.
Ingredients
- 15 oz dairy free alfredo
- 12 oz penne I used gluten free
- 1 lb medium sized raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 large head broccoli cut into bite sized pieces
- freshly chopped parsley optional, for garnish
- crushed red pepper optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat.
- While your water is coming to a boil, heat the alfredo sauce over low heat in a large skillet.
- Once the water is boiling, add in your pasta. Cook the pasta until about 2 minutes shy of being done, then add your broccoli. My gluten-free pasta takes 10 minutes to cook (slightly softer than al dente), so I add my broccoli at 8 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and broccoli and set aside.
- Once your alfredo sauce comes to a low simmer add in your shrimp. Stir everything together so the sauce coats the shrimp and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through. This usually takes 3-4 minutes.
- Pour the sauce and shrimp over your pasta and gently fold everything together. Garnish with some freshly chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if you'd like. Enjoy!
