- 1 box fettuccine noodles
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp marsala wine
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook following instructions on the box.
Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Once it's shimmering, add the shrimp. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sear on each side until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet.
To the same skillet, add the butter and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add marsala wine and stir, let cook for a minute. Then add in heavy cream, Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese. Stir sauce and bring to a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium and keep stirring until slightly thickened. Return shrimp to the skillet, I like to use a slotted spoon to do this. Give it a toss.
Add the pasta to the sauce a little at a time, stirring to incorporate. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve. Enjoy!
