Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add fettuccine pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce is smooth. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water. Season with salt and pepper.
- Gently add drained fettuccine and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss ingredients together for 1-2 minutes until evenly coated in sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
