Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo

My favorite pasta dish, Alfredo can host many different meats and vegetables.  Chicken, Sausage, almost any seafood.  I like to use zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, broccoli, and green onion.  But not today.  Just fresh shrimp.  I always under cook the pasta so that it finishes a little chewy but tender in the Sauce.  In a large saucepan on medium high to high, I put 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and 1 pint whipping cream.  By the way, this serves 4-6 hungry people.  As the sauce starts to boil and reduce I add 1 teaspoon fresh crushed garlic, salt, ground pepper, and a couple handfuls of shredded Parmesan.  Never dried or powdered.  Then I stir in 1 lb. shrimp that I've cooked separately and continue to stir as the sauce thickens.  When it's close to oozy goodness I add the noodles and kill the heat.  I serve with a little more Parmesan on top and slices of warm garlic bread.
