Ingredients
-
2 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
-
1 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour
-
¾ teaspoon salt-free Cajun seasoning
-
5 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
-
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
-
½ teaspoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
-
¼ cup unsalted chicken stock
-
⅛ teaspoon white pepper
-
1 pinch red pepper flakes (Optional)
-
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
¼ cup light whipping cream (18%)
-
salt to taste
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the remaining water.
-
Combine flour and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Pat shrimp dry and add to the bowl, tossing to coat.
-
Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp into the skillet once the butter bubbles and cook for 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a clean bowl. Add garlic to the same skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any brown bits.
-
Whisk in remaining flour-Cajun seasoning slowly until well incorporated. Season with white pepper and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in cream; cook for 2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese slowly, whisking constantly. Cook until sauce has thickened, 2 minutes more. Return shrimp to the skillet and add pasta; toss to combine.
-
Mix in a little of the cooking water if the sauce is too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
