Fettuccine with shrimp in cream sauce

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dish.

2. Step 2:

   

   Defrost and peel the shrimp. The recipe indicates the net weight of the shrimp after cleaning. Therefore, take seafood with a reserve. If you have shrimp with a head and a shell, then about 550 g, if without a head, but with a shell and tails, then 400 g is enough !!! Do not rush to throw out the cleaning. They can be used to make a very delicious soup*.

3. Step 3:

   

   Heat a piece of butter in a frying pan, put the shrimp and fry, stirring, for about 4 minutes. Add a little salt to the shrimp and put it on a plate.

4. Step 4:

   

   While the shrimp are frying in a saucepan, boil a large amount of water and add salt to it. Dip the fettuccine into boiling water and bring the water to a boil again. Cook for about 6 minutes over medium heat, stirring the pasta periodically so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

5. Step 5:

   

   While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce.

6. Step 6:

   

   Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife.

7. Step 7:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan and fry garlic on it for about 1 minute.

9. Step 8:

   

   Pour in the wine and let it evaporate over low heat for about 2 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Add cream, nutmeg, salt and ground pepper. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer until thickened for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

11. Step 10:

    

    Boil fettuccine in plenty of water for about 6 minutes until al dente. Fold the finished pasta into a colander and let the water drain.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put the pasta and fried shrimp in the pan with the sauce. Warm everything together, stirring, for a couple of minutes.

13. Step 12:

    

    Grate the parmesan on a fine or medium grater. It is better, of course, to use aged cheese, with a small amount of moisture inside. But young parmesan will also do, which is very similar to ordinary cheese, but has a specific taste.

14. Step 13:

    

    Arrange the pasta on plates and serve to the table, sprinkled with grated parmesan. Bon appetit!
