Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tbsp fresh basil (chopped)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp fresh lemon zest
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat slightly, then stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and basil.
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the herbed butter sauce, adding pasta water one tablespoon at a time to loosen the sauce if needed.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are reheated.
Remove from heat and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and additional parsley if desired.
Serve immediately. Enjoy your Fettuccine with Herbed Shrimp!
