- 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)

- 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.
