- Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 package of refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the biscuits according to the package instructions. Once baked, set them aside to cool slightly.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan, mozzarella, and feta cheeses, allowing them to melt and create a smooth sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more cream to reach your desired consistency.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the Alfredo sauce to coat well. Remove from heat.
- Slice the biscuits in half horizontally. Place a spoonful of the shrimp Alfredo mixture on the bottom half of each biscuit, then top with the other half. You might recall how my abuela would stack tortillas with layers of fillings—this is a similar concept but with a cheesier twist!

Tips for Making the Best Triple-Cheese Shrimp Alfredo Biscuit Stackers
To ensure your biscuits are perfectly flaky, avoid overworking the dough when you’re rolling it out. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Alfredo sauce for an extra kick. Remember, cooking is about following your senses, just like my abuela taught me. Listen to the sizzle of the shrimp and watch for that golden hue in your cheese sauce—it’s all part of the culinary dance.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
These stackers make a wonderful main dish when paired with a crisp, green salad or roasted asparagus. For a Southern twist, serve them alongside some collard greens or cornbread. And of course, a chilled glass of white wine—perhaps a Chardonnay or a light Sauvignon Blanc—complements the richness of the dish beautifully.

Storage and Reheating Tips
If you happen to have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), store the stackers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the biscuits soggy and the shrimp rubbery.
