Description

Ingredients

• ¾ lb fettuccine or penne pasta
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 Tbsp oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 garlic clove
• ⅓ cup white wine (I used Ste Chapelle Chardonay ~$6)
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• ⅓ cup parmesan cheese
• S&P to taste
• Sprinkle of paprika
• Parsley or basil for garnish if desired

Directions

• Cook ¾ lb fettuccini noodles in salted water according to package instructions and drain. Dont rinse (this helps the sauce stick to the noodles better).
• Lightly season shrimp with salt, pepper and paprika. Preheat a large skillet to med/high and add 1 Tbsp oil. Once oil is hot, add shrimp in a single layer and cook 1-2 min per side or just until fully cooked and no longer translucent. They should be golden/pink on the outside and opaque white on the inside. Dont over-do it or they will be rubbery. Remove shrimp to a separate bowl.
• In same pan, over medium/high heat, add 2 Tbsp butter and onion and sauté onion till golden. Stir in garlic and sauté another minute. Stir in ⅓ cup white wine and reduce to 25% scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan.
• Stir in Cream and simmer for 2 min. Next, sprinkle the top with ⅓ cup parmesan (or add to taste) and stir just until creamy and smooth and remove from heat. Dont boil or the cheese will separate from the cream. Add about ¼ tsp paprika and season with S&P to taste.
• Add the cooked shrimp and drained (un-rinsed pasta). Garnish with parsley, basil, extra parmesan or freshly cracked pepper if desired.
