Chicken is amazing in this recipe as well and can also be substituted for the shrimp. I always order a dish kind of like this but with chicken at Red Lobster®. Oh so good!

To start off, bring water to a boil for the pasta. And for the sauce, in a large saucepan add butter, cream cheese, onions and garlic. Cook over low flame until the cream cheese is almost melted. Then add the heavy cream and seasonings stirring until melted. Next, stir in the Parmesan cheese. While the sauce and pasta are cooking and almost done, cook the shrimp.

The Alfredo sauce is the same sauce that I used in my chicken spinach shrimp alfredo lasagna recipe which I adapted from The Recipe Critic. So yummy!
