ingredients

8 ounces fettuccine pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb fresh shrimp, raw and cleaned
3 teaspoons minced garlic
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried basil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¹⁄₄ teaspoon paprika
8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 ¹⁄₂ - 2 cups half-and-half
¹⁄₂ cup grated parmesan cheese
³⁄₄ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

directions

Cook fettuccini according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add shrimp; cook on one side for 1-2 minutes until pink. Flip the shrimp to the other side; sprinkle the top of cooked side of shrimp with basil, pepper flakes and paprika. Add garlic and cook until shrimp is pink on both sides, about1-2 minutes. Remove the shrimp from skillet and sprinkle with remaining seasonings. It’s ok if the shrimp is a little undercooked; it will finish cooking in the sauce. Add 1 Tblsp olive oil, red peppers, onions and the sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring as needed, until peppers, onions and mushrooms become soft. Add cooked shrimp, and immediately add 1 ½ cup half and half and all of the cheese. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; reduce to simmer and cook, stirring as needed, until all cheese melts. Add pasta to the skillet with shrimp and mushrooms and cream sauce; stir well. If needed, add the additional ½ cup of the milk as pasta heats. Serve and enjoy.
