Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the shrimp with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for an additional minute to deepen the flavor.
Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), chicken broth, sugar, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Simmer the mixture for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the shrimp are fully heated through.
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.
