My cousin, Shantel, called me last week. “Hey! I don’t see a Shrimp Fettuccine recipe on your YouTube channel. Can you do one?” Uhhh, YES! I’m so happy she called, because I needed a pasta recipe. Why not a classic?? This Alfredo sauce is pretty universal. It’s my staple white sauce recipe. It’s absolutely delicious…
