Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz (340 g) linguine or fettuccine pasta, uncooked
- 4 cups (960 ml) chicken broth or water
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 jar (15 oz or ~425 g) Alfredo sauce
- 4 tbsp (60 g) unsalted butter

- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1/4 cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). - Combine Ingredients in Baking Dish:
In a large, deep baking dish, combine uncooked pasta, chicken broth, heavy cream, Alfredo sauce, butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well to coat the pasta. - Bake and Stir:
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil, stir the pasta, and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is nearly cooked through. - Add Shrimp:
Arrange the shrimp on top of the pasta mixture. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice. - Finish Baking:
Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque and the pasta is fully cooked. - Garnish and Serve:
Remove the dish from the oven. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, parsley, and the remaining lemon juice. Toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
Tips
- Customizations: Add veggies like spinach, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus for extra color and nutrition.
- Cheese Lovers: Add extra Parmesan or mozzarella on top before baking for a cheesier dish.
- Make it Spicier: Add more red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne for heat.
