Description
A delicious recipe for creamy garlic shrimp fettuccine, perfect for a quick dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp (cleaned and deveined)
- 1–2 teaspoon Old Bay Blackened seasoning
- ½ cup salted butter
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 ½ cups whipping cream (35%)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 500–600 grams fresh fettucine noodles (or dry)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until they are al dente, around 5-6 minutes. For dry pasta, follow the package instructions.
- Combine the butter and minced garlic in a large skillet. Fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add in the whipping cream and then bring to a low simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes or so, reducing the liquid.
- Add in the Parmesan, tossing until it’s melted in completely. Cook until the sauce reduces to your liking, then add in the cooked, drained fettuccine noodles. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to warm the pasta and cook it slightly further.
- When it’s almost done, sprinkle the shrimp with the seasoning and then fry the shrimp quickly in a small frying pan until pink all the way through. Shrimp cook in around 4-5 minutes.
- To plate, place the sauce-covered noodles on the plate and top with shrimp.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine to the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
