One-Pot Pasta: Shrimp Alfredo

If you’ve been on Instagram, Pinterest, or flipped through a food magazine over the past year you’ve probably come across a one-pot pasta recipe. These one pan wonders (usually) take under 30 minutes to cook from start to finish, leaving you with a tasty meal and, since it’s all made in one pot, minimal cleanup.

No need to pull out a stock pot or dutch oven for this one-pot shrimp alfredo. We cooked this 30 minute meal in a deep-edge skillet instead.

In the skillet, arrange dry spaghetti in the middle of the pan. Then place frozen, cooked shrimp on one side of the pasta and frozen peas on the other.

Pour 2 ½ cups of water over the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes until the pasta is al dente and most of the water has evaporated.

Add butter and stir until it’s fully melted and mixed with the other ingredients. Then stir in a cup of half-and-half and a cup (or if you’re a cheese-lover like me, a cup and a half) of grated parmesan cheese. That’s all there is to it. I guess it’s pretty easy to understand what the one-pot pasta hype is all about, after all.

Serve this shrimp alfredo with a sprinkle of cracked black pepper, some fresh basil, and a little extra parmesan (for good measure).

These 30 minute meals are perfect for feeding the family when you’re crunched for time and want to clear out some room in the freezer. Watch one-pot shrimp alfredo disappear from your table and smile knowing there’s only one pan to wash after dinner.

  1. If you put the cooked shrimp in at the sametime as the raw pasta the shrimp will be hockey pucks by the time the pasta is done.
