Components:
8 ounces of fettuccine pasta (or any other pasta of your preference)

2 cups of broccoli florets
Two tablespoons of butter
2 minced garlic cloves
One cup of heavy cream
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to flavor

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. For approximately one minute, add the minced garlic and sauté until it is aromatic.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes on each side until they become opaque and brown. Set the prawns aside after removing them from the skillet.
Add the broccoli florets to the same skillet and sauté for a few minutes until they are tender-crisp.
Pour in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens and the cheese has melted. Salt, pepper, and a small amount of nutmeg may be added when desired.
Place the cooked pasta in the skillet and stir it in the Alfredo sauce until it is thoroughly saturated.
Lastly, return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and ensure that all components are thoroughly heated.
