Next, we are going to stir in the parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until cheese is melted. Continue stirring and reduce the heat.  The sauce will thicken.

Now it is time to make a little magic.  Let's pour our homemade sauce over those beautiful shrimp.  

Let's get this masterpiece on a plate.  Get a hot helping of pasta, throw a big old scoop of Alfredo and shrimp on top of it, and garnish it with some fresh parsley.  Now, take a moment to look at just how beautiful it is before you dig in.  After all, you will be licking the plate in no time!

How to reheat Homemade Shrimp Alfredo

With six hungry mouths at our table, we rarely have leftovers.  And after all, this stuff is so amazing when it is freshly made, we have a hard time leaving any of it in the pan.  However, when I do have some left over, I know I am guaranteed a delicious meal the next day.

Just simply toss the remaining Alfredo in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator.  When you are ready to reheat it, you can do so on the stovetop or in the microwave.  Because time is always of the essence, the microwave is usually my method of choice.  

After heating it up, you may notice that the sauce separates a bit.  No worries.  Add a little bit of milk and mix it in.  This will bring your creamy pasta right back to life.
