"This has always been a favorite, so when I started cooking healthier, I tried different ways to lighten it. Less butter and fat-free half-and-half worked well, along with using a little flour to thicken the sauce. " Evelyn Slade - Fruita, CO

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta, and boil according to package directions until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Strain, and toss with a splash of oil.
- Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large pie pan or paper plate, and pat them with a paper towel until completely dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until the underside is pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, and cook until fully pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm.
- Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the shrimp and cooked pasta, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.
SHRIMP FETTUCCINE
A derivative of Alfredo, I was playing hit an miss with a variation and hit. My wife and I aren't huge pasta fans, but loved this one. Fairly simple with things you may already have around the kitchen. The quantities given were just about right for a modest meal for 2 with some noodles left over. Adjust as necessary. Additionally, adjust ingredients' ratios (skim milk vice whole milk for example) to your taste or dietary needs.

Steps:
- Warm the milk on low heat in a medium-sized saucepan. Once warm, add the garlic, salt, onion powder, and bouillon cubes, and continue to heat on low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Peel and de-vein the shrimp.
- Fill pasta pot with enough water to boil the fettucini and heat on high (eventually to a boil). Add the olive oil to the pasta pot. At the same time, raise the heat on the milk mixture to medium, add the cheese, and gradually stir in the corn starch. Try to avoid clumping. Adjust heat as necessary to gently bring the sauce to a boil. The goal is for both to finish at about the same time. Use additional corn starch if necessary to adjust thickness of sauce. Ensure you allow it to boil momentarily between addtions to allow it to congeal sufficiently.
- Add the shrimp to the sauce and allow the sauce to gently boil for approximately 7 or 8 minutes with the shrimp in it.
- When the pasta pot is at a boil, add the fettucini, ensuring all of it is submerged, and continue to boil it to completion. Bear in mind that fettucini cooks much faster than spaghetti, so avoid overcooking. I generally remove it as soon as possible after it loses the rubbery texture (assuming you started with dried fettucini as opposed to fresh made).
- Strain, but do not rinse the fettucini and divide onto dinner plates in suitable portions. Pour the shrimp/sauce mixture onto the pasta portions, being careful to equally divide the shrimp!, and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp should be cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a sauce that is packed with flavor. A simple tomato sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce are both great options.
- Add some vegetables: Vegetables add color, flavor, and nutrients to this dish. Some good options include broccoli, asparagus, and zucchini.
- Serve immediately: Fettuccine with shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will start to toughen up if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of shrimp, sauce, and vegetables makes this dish a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try.
