Ingredients:
8 ounces (225g) fettuccine pasta
1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth
1 cup (90g) grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the shrimp: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and the cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine the pasta and shrimp: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the sauce. Add the drained fettuccine pasta. Gently toss everything together, ensuring the shrimp and pasta are coated evenly with the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat everything through.
Serve: Transfer the creamy garlic Parmesan shrimp pasta to serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Enjoy: Serve your luxurious pasta dish hot and savor every bite of this creamy, garlicky, and cheesy delight.
