How to make Fettuccine e Gamberi

The awesome Fettuccine e Gamberi or Pasta and Shrimp. A classic recipe to have.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb fettuccine
• 20 medium shrimp – cleaned
• 1 cup flour
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 1 pint cream – reduced
• 2 garlic cloves – chopped
• ½ cup white wine
• 4 tbs olive oil

METHOD:

1. Reduce the cream by cooking it down until it has reduced somewhat.
2. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan.  Flour the shrimp and sauté until they start to become pink. 
3. Add the white wine, salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Add the garlic and cook for about 3 minutes. 
4. Add the cream and continue cooking over low heat.   
5. Meanwhile cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente. 
6. Drain and spread the cooked pasta over the sauce in the pan.  Add a pat or two of butter and some Parmigiano cheese for a little extra flavor.
7. Toss well and serve your Fettuccine e Gamberi, maybe with a little extra freshly ground black pepper.  Of course, in our house we’ll be passing some freshly grated cheese for sprinkling! 

BUON MANGIATA!
