This is way better than what I always ordered in my favourite restaurant! Creamy, rich, super flavorful, and hearty Shrimp Fettuccine smothered in a tasty roasted pepper sauce. It is incredibly easy to whip up and ready in under thirty minutes! So good, elegant, and perfect even for special occasions. I will be making this again tonight for a simple surprise date night I am preparing for my husband.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons butter (45 grams)

½ package uncooked Fettuccine pasta (8 ounces/250 grams)

16 ounces jar roasted bell peppers (450 grams)

2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp (900 grams)

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (2.5 grams)

¾ c. Half & Half (180 ml.)

½ c. grated Parmesan cheese (45 grams)

½ tablespoon paprika (7 grams)

salt to taste

chopped parsley to garnish

How to make Shrimp Fettuccine with Roasted Pepper Sauce

Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the fettuccine in a large pot of boiling water. Drain when done and rinse the fettuccine with cold water. Set aside.

Step 2: Into a food processor or bullet blender, place the roasted peppers and the liquid from the jar and puree until smooth.

Step 3: Add the butter in a heated large, nonstick pan along with the shrimp, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook over high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and add the garlic, then continue to cook for an additional minute.

Step 4: Adjust the heat to low, then take the shrimp off the pan.

Step 5: Now, add the pureed roasted pepper to the same pan and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6: To the pan, add the half-and-half followed by the Parmesan. Cook further, then turn the heat off. This takes another minute.

Step 7: Add the shrimp back to the pan along with the fettuccine. Toss to coat.

Step 8: Before serving, garnish the shrimp fettuccine with freshly chopped parsley and some grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
