Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails removed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 16 ounces chicken broth
  • 8 ounces whole milk
  • 8 ounces fettuccine noodles, dry
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 ounces heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Sauté the shrimp in a sauté pan over medium heat with two tablespoons of butter for 1 to 2 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add the remaining butter and minced garlic to the pan, sautéing briefly until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and whole milk, along with the dry fettuccine, kosher salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  4. Cover and simmer for about 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and liquid is absorbed.
  5. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream, mixing until the sauce is smooth.
  6. Return the shrimp to the pan and toss gently to combine.
  7. Remove from heat, let sit for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce, then serve.

Notes

Fresh shrimp will provide the best flavor. Nutmeg adds warmth but can be omitted if desired. To thicken the sauce, reduce chicken broth slightly or increase cheese.
