Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Alfredo Sauce

    In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the shaved parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked penne pasta, grilled shrimp, and cherry tomatoes into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh basil, and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional parmesan cheese.
