Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo

My cousin, Shantel, called me last week. "Hey, I do not see a shrimp Fettuccine recipe on your YouTube channel, can you make one?" Uhhh, yes, I'm very happy that she called, because she needed a pasta recipe. This Alfredo sauce is quite universal, it's my basic white sauce recipe, it's absolutely delicious and extremely simple to make.

Do you want to know what grinds my gears? When I see those little shrimp, salad on this plate. YOU NEED fat and juicy shrimp for this! I made sure to season them with the right amount of flavors to complement the sauce.
