INGREDIENTS

  • Base Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 🍤 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt to taste
    • 1 pinch dried basil
    • 1 pinch paprika
    • 🍄 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
    • 1 cup half-and-half
    • 🧀 ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 🧀 ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 🍝 ½ (16 ounce) package dry fettuccine pasta
    • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

STEPS

1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Immediately add shrimp and garlic; cook until shrimp is pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle salt, basil, and paprika over shrimp. Cook and stir for 1 minute more, leaving shrimp slightly undercooked to finish cooking in the sauce.

2

Remove shrimp mixture from the skillet. Add mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook and stir, seasoning with salt, until juicy, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp; immediately pour in half-and-half, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, constantly stirring, until cheese melts, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover with a lid and remove from heat.

3

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. If cream sauce is too thick, add some pasta water in small amounts. Drain pasta and rinse with cold water. Add to the cream sauce.

💡 Undercook the shrimp slightly in the first step; it will finish cooking in the sauce.Use pasta water to thin out the sauce if it becomes too thick.For extra flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged.
