Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the first 2 ounces of butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the sliced onions and mushrooms, cooking until the onions begin to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, peeled tomatoes, chopped scallions, seafood seasoning, and parsley. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the shrimp and stir gently to coat with the aromatics.
  6. Pour in the shrimp stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked fettuccine and white wine to the pan. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the pasta.
  9. Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the remaining 2 ounces of butter until melted and creamy.
  10. Serve immediately while hot.

Note

For best results, use fresh shrimp rather than frozen if possible. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely and pat dry before cooking.

Seafood seasoning blends vary by brand. A traditional Creole blend typically includes paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cayenne, and salt. Adjust heat level to your preference.

If shrimp stock is unavailable, you can substitute with chicken broth or a mixture of water and bouillon, though the flavor will be less intense.

Serve with crusty bread to soak up the remaining sauce. A simple side salad complements the richness of the dish.
