Homemade Shrimp Fettuccine

 This recipe is nice because it doesn't have a thickening agent, is simple and has a great flavor.   You can easily alter it to make it a chicken dish or even a side dish with no meat.  The original dish had chicken and mushrooms, but I decided to make shrimp because we've been eating a lot of beef and chicken and wanted something with seafood.  It's super fast to put together.  I served it with Cesear salad and garlic toast and it was a big hit.  My granddaughter even came over because it's her favorite meal.  


HOMEMADE SHRIMP FETTUCCINE:


8 ounces fettuccini or linguini pasta (cook as directed to a dente stage and drained)

2 Tablespoons butter

A smaller package of precooked, deveined medium to large shrimp, rinsed well and tails pulled off

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1-1/2 cups heavy cream

1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese


In a large deeper sided fry pan: melt the butter, add shrimp and season with the garlic powder and pepper.  cook until slightly browned on medium low heat.  add whipping cream and cook until thick, stirring constantly.  Add Parmesan cheese.  When at desired consistency add the Parmesan cheese and more pepper and salt to your tasted.  (I just added a pinch to mine).  Stir in the drained noodles or serve over the noodles to your preference.
