Shrimp Fettuccine with Garlic Butter Sauce image

This recipe is a family favorite. Hint: Get easy peel shrimp and save yourself alot of work. Also smashing the whole cloves of garlic with the side of you knife or your palm makes peeling them a breeze and also cut the mincing time in half.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed
3/4 lb fettuccine pasta
6 Tbsp butter, unsalted
3 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 small shallot, minced

  • 2. While the pasta cooks,in a large cold skillet add the butter, olive oil, shallot, garlic, capers and red pepper flake. turn burner on to medium low and cook about 5 minutes or until the shallots and garlic are soft. Increase heat to medium and add shrimp, cook until pink and opaque about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste (I go light on the salt because the pasta water has alot of salt in it)
