SHRIMP FETTUCCINE

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.
