Creamy Garlic Shrimp Fettuccine Recipe

In a stockpot over medium to high heat, cook pasta in boiling water for 7 to 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup pasta water for the sauce. Keep warm. 

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat, saute chopped garlic in olive oil until aromatic. Add shrimp and cook until pink.

Add then stir in cream, and season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Place cooked pasta into the pan with the sauce, and toss together with the sauce until coated. Add reserved pasta water as needed. 

To serve, plate pasta and top with grated parmesan cheese, parsley, or a lemon garnish if desired.
