Shrimp Fettuccine Pasta
Ingredients
- 2 Lbs raw shrimp- peeled and deveined
- 16 oz fettuccine pasta
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 chopped white onion

- ground black pepper to taste- add moderately as you will be adding some more at the end
- crushed red pepper to taste- this recipe only includes a small hint of crushed pepper flakes
- 1/2 fresh squeezed lime juice – lime is used for the shrimp to add acidity to the marinade
- 1 tbsp Adobo Goya -all-purpose seasoning (with pepper)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 jar Carbone tomato basil sauce- You can use another brand, however that's it the brand I used for this recipe
- Fresh parsley, chopped- (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup white cooking wine – (optional)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 pack Sazón Goya- make sure you get the one with "culantro and achiote" read the box carefully when buying as there is a similar seasoning box with "azafran" INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions
- Add lime juice to the shrimp and marinade with adobo, black pepper, Sazon Goya and salt.

- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; sauté the red pepper, onion and scallion with garlic, butter, and red pepper flakes.

- Add the shrimp and sauté until pink for about 2 minutes per side.

- *****Start the pasta fettuccine in boiling salted water while you continue with the recipe. (1 liter of water for every 100 g of pasta, 1 teaspoon of salt per 2 liters of water). Do not forget to stir to prevent pasta sticking to the pot. Fettuccine cooking time is between 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add Carbone tomato basil sauce, and cooking wine and stir, next garnish with chopped parsley.

- Pour heavy cream and add Parmesan cheese. This is the time you must stir and taste and add salt if needed.

- Combine cooked fettuccine and shrimp mixture sauce

- All mixed 🙂 next, top with additional parmesan and black pepper to taste.

- Now is time to sit, relax, and enjoy!
