Spicy Garlic Shrimp With Fettuccine

Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 8 -10 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 (9 ounce) package fettuccine pasta, prepared as directed

Method

  1. Combine the white wine, juice from half a lemon, lemon pepper, oregano, basil, and thyme in a small saucepan. Whisk and let it reduce over medium-low heat until you have roughly 1/2 cup.
  2. Melt half a stick of butter in a skillet and cook the chopped garlic for approximately 4 minutes.
  3. Stir the red chilli pepper flakes into the garlic butter and cook for about 1 minute.
  4. Place the shrimp in the skillet and cook them for around 5 minutes, until they turn pink.
  5. Take the cooked shrimp out of the pan, keeping any remaining liquid in the skillet.
  6. Pour the reserved skillet liquid into the saucepan with the reduced wine. Whisk well and increase the heat to medium.
  7. Add the remaining half stick of butter, sliced, to the saucepan. Keep whisking until the butter has fully melted.
  8. In a small separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with a little half-and-half to form a smooth paste. Whisk this into the saucepan until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
  9. Pour in the rest of the half-and-half, whisking continuously until the sauce reaches your preferred thickness.
  10. Toss the prepared fettuccine pasta in the sauce until it is evenly coated.
  11. Plate the sauced fettuccine and arrange the sautéed shrimp on top to serve.
