1
Melt butter
Cook the shrimp in the butter until they are pink. Add in the garlic during the last minute or so. Remove the shrimp but reserve the butter in the pan.
2
Make the sauce
Add in the cream to the buttery pan. Simmer over medium to medium-low heat. Add in the cheese, slowly, stirring while adding. Cook, simmering lightly, until the sauce is as thick as you'd like.
3
Add the shrimp back
Toss them back into the sauce and let it sit over low heat for 3-4 minutes.
4
Enjoy!
Toss the shrimp and sauce with hot cooked pasta and top it all with some extra grated parmigiano reggiano.

The microwave works really well for our alfredo! Promise it won't turn into a gloopy mess. I do suggest storing the pasta and sauce separately, however.
Nope! It is essential to this recipe. I've made this with half and half before, but the sauce is much easier to "break" that way. Milk doesn't typically enjoy being simmerred, and sometimes that can go real haywire.
