Ingredients
  

For the Pasta
  • 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
  • 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
For Garnish
  • to taste fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by cooking the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Once it's al dente, drain it and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, which should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, mixing until the cheese melts and the sauce is nice and smooth.
  5. Step 5: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to your liking. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, then add the drained pasta. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta and shrimp are beautifully coated in that creamy sauce.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy the smiles around the table!
