    Wow, these glamour shots make me hungry. Looks like a rich meal with lots of protein and nutritional value. I'm sure the creamy Alfredo sauce compliments the vegetables and shrimp to perfection. Thanks for the detailed recipe.

    I have heard of the Alfredo sauce before but never knew how to prepare it. Therefore, this recipe couldn't have come at a better time for me.

    I can only imagine how delicious the shrimp would taste. Judging by the photos I bet it tastes just as good as it looks.

      Thanks for letting me know, Kevin!

      In the same skillet melt butter and cream cheese over low heat, whisk until melted. Once the cream cheese is melted, add the heavy cream and cook further for 1 minute ( the sauce should be hot enough for Parmesan cheese to melt)
