\"Olive<\/div>\n

My husband asked for this Olive Garden shrimp alfredo copycat recipe<\/strong> four times in one month. That says it all. Tender bites of shrimp and fettuccine are tossed in a creamy Alfredo sauce that rivals the restaurant version – and it’s on the table in just 30 minutes. My secret is a little cream cheese, which helps create that silky, restaurant-style sauce at home.<\/p>\n

I tested this recipe a few times to get the sauce just right. The trick is to slowly whisk the half and half into the garlic butter, then add softened cream cheese and simmer briefly before stirring in freshly grated Parmesan. The result is a smooth, creamy sauce that clings perfectly to the pasta. If you’re a fan of creamy pasta dishes, try my homemade Alfredo sauce with half and half<\/a> next.<\/p>\n

Why This Recipe Works<\/h2>\n

Traditional Alfredo can be surprisingly finicky, especially when using half and half instead of heavy cream. After testing this recipe, I found that adding a little cream cheese gives the sauce enough body to coat the fettuccine without needing a flour-based roux. Freshly grated Parmesan adds flavor, while cooking the shrimp separately keeps them tender instead of rubbery.<\/p>\n

If you love creamy pasta but want to switch things up, my\u00a0chicken fettuccine alfredo made in the air fryer<\/a>\u00a0is another easy dinner that comes together just as fast. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
