Ingredients

Scale

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

  • ½ cup reserved pasta water

Instructions

  1. Cook fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.

  2. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter and sauté shrimp for 2–3 minutes until opaque. Remove and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, add 3 tbsp butter and minced garlic. Sauté 1 minute. Add cream and bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes.

  4. Reduce heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Toss pasta and shrimp into the sauce. Add pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

  6. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for smooth melting.

  • For lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for cream.

  • Add steamed vegetables or lemon zest for variety.
