Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cook time: 15-20 minutes
Materials:
- 1 lb. large shrimp
- 1 lb. Fettuccine pasta
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp marjoram
- Salt and pepper to taste
Process:
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your fettucine until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of cooked pasta water in case the sauce is too thick and you need to thin it out.
- Coat your shrimp with 1 tbsp. olive oil and season with salt, pepper, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp marjoram and 1 tsp garlic powder.
- In a skillet with high sides add in the remaining 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. Keeping the heat on medium let the oil heat up.
- Once the oil starts to glisten place the shrimp on the pan and cook 2-3 minutes. Depending on the size of your shrimp, cooking time may vary.
- Flip the shrimp over and add in 1 tbsp. unsalted butter. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Again depending on the size of your shrimp, cooking time may vary.
- Once fully cooked through remove and set aside.
- In the same pan add in the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Let the butter melt.
- Add in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Add in the heavy cream and season with salt, pepper, and the remaining oregano and marjoram. Mix well and bring the mixture up to a simmer.
- Lower the heat to low and add in the Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
- Add in your cooked pasta and mix well to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick add in some of the cooked pasta water.
- Add the shrimp back in and mix to incorporate in the sauce. Plate, top with some additional Parmesan cheese and ENJOY!
