Instructions
Cook noodles according to package directions and hold until needed. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and set them aside. Prepare the green onions.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
When the butter has melted, add the green onions and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for an additional minute.
Add the shrimp to the pan. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the shrimp are done.
Add the half-and-half along with the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted.
Add the noodles, salt, and pepper. Stir together to coat the noodles well.
Notes
Store leftovers, well sealed, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of milk.
Take care not to overcook shrimp. The instant they turn pink and opaque, they're ready. Always use medium heat and keep a close watch.
