How to Make Shrimp & Crab Alfredo Bake
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Cook fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Toss in the cooked fettuccine pasta until fully coated in the creamy sauce.
Step 4: Assemble & Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a light golden color.
Step 5: Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot!
