Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until pink and opaque (about 3 minutes per side). Remove shrimp from the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Return the shrimp to the skillet along with cooked fettuccine. Toss everything together until well-coated.
  6. Serve garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
