Ingredients:
1 package fettuccini
1/2 kg raw and peeled shrimp
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion finely chopped
1 crushed garlic clove
1/3 cup white wine
2 cups whipped cream
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
Preparation:
- Place the pasta in a pot of boiling water with a tablespoon of salt and cook according to package instructions. Drain and reserve. (Do not rinse or pour cold water).
- While pasta is cooking: Season shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place a skillet over medium-high heat with a teaspoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shrimp and cook them for 2 minutes per side only until they are cooked, that is, to the point that they no longer look transparent. Reserve on a separate plate to avoid overcooking.
- In the same skillet add 2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped onion. Season for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute. Add the wine and let it boil until approximately 25% of the liquid remains.
- Add the 2 cups of heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the Parmesan cheese and mix until smooth and creamy. Let it simmer a little longer but do not let it boil so that the cheese does not separate from the cream. Season with salt and pepper.
- Now add the pasta and shrimp, mixing until the pasta is completely covered with the sauce. When serving, garnish with the chopped parsley and you can add a little more Parmesan.
