INGREDIENTS
 

  • 12 ounces/340 grams fettuccine
  • 1.1 pound/500 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ¾ –1 cup reserved pasta water
  • ½ cup Parmesan, plus more for finishing
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 ounce butter. Sear the shrimp until just opaque and lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the wine and simmer until slightly reduced, scraping up any browned bits.
  • Add the pasta and ¾ cup reserved pasta water. Add the remaining butter and toss continuously until the sauce emulsifies and coats the noodles, adding more pasta water as needed.
  • Off heat, add the Parmesan and parsley and toss until glossy. Return the shrimp with any juices, then add the lemon zest and juice. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Serve immediately, finished with more Parmesan and parsley.
