Description

This indulgent Fettuccine with Shrimp and Cream Sauce is a comforting Italian-inspired meal that brings restaurant-quality flavor to your home kitchen. The dish features tender jumbo shrimp sautéed with aromatic garlic, earthy mushrooms, and sweet green onions, all tossed in a luxurious, velvety cream sauce thickened with flour and brightened with dry white wine. The fettuccine noodles hold the sauce beautifully, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors. Finished with a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, this dish offers a satisfying richness that is perfect for weeknight dinners or special family gatherings.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook fettuccine noodles according to package directions in boiling water with oil.
  2. While noodles are cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chopped garlic and shrimp; cook until shrimp turn pink, but do not allow garlic to turn brown.
  4. Add parsley, mushrooms, green onions, and red pepper; sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Add flour and mix thoroughly, then add wine.
  6. Simmer for about 30 seconds, then add heavy cream and heat through.
  7. Drain noodles and add to sauce with half the grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Fold gently until noodles are well coated and cheese is melted.
  9. Season with salt to taste.
  10. If sauce is too thin, continue heating until sauce reduces to a creamy consistency.
  11. If sauce is too thick, add a splash more cream.
  12. Garnish with remaining chopped parsley and additional grated cheese, and serve immediately.

Note

Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined before cooking. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely and pat dry to ensure they sear properly.

Do not let the garlic brown, as it will turn bitter. Keep the heat at medium-high but watch closely when adding garlic.

For a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half for some of the heavy cream, though the sauce will be less rich.

Serve immediately after mixing the pasta with the sauce, as the noodles will continue to absorb the liquid and thicken the dish rapidly.
