This creamy shrimp fettuccine is a delicious combination of tender shrimp and smooth pasta, all coated in a rich and flavorful sauce. It’s the perfect comfort meal, simple to prepare yet indulgent in taste.
Ingredients:
8 oz fettuccine pasta
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Cook the Pasta: Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy.
Combine the Dish: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta with the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve: Top the creamy fettuccine with the shrimp, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Enjoy this rich and flavorful dish for a satisfying meal!
