Ingredients

• 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
• 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 8 tablespoons Butter
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Turn the heat to medium-high, and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 7 tablespoons of butter and heavy cream. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Slowly add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, whisking continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

Step 8

Gently return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing everything together until fully combined and the shrimp is coated with sauce.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with a bit more Parmesan cheese if desired.
