Number Of Ingredients 15

10 ounces dry fettuccine or 10 ounces pappardelle pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon hot sauce, to taste (I prefer Chohula's)
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or 3 tablespoons parsley
fresh chives (to garnish) or parsley (to garnish)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced (or more to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup half-and-half
4 ounces crumbled blue cheese (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • First, make the Bleu Cheese Sauce: Combine the onion, oil, garlic and sugar in a medium saucepan.
  • Cook, stirring, over medium heat until the onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the blue cheese until nearly melted.
  • Now, cook the pasta according to package directions.
  • While the pasta cooks, prepare the shrimp.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat.
  • Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly pink, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic, butter, and hot sauce and cook until the shrimp is just opaque in the center, about1 1/2 minutes longer.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the paprika; set aside.
  • Drain the pasta well and put it in a large bowl.
  • Stir in the warm blue cheese sauce.
  • Gently mix in the chopped chives or parsley.
  • Spoon the pasta onto individual plates.
  • Top with the shrimp and sauce.
  • Garnish as desired.
