Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Fettuccine

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallots, sautéing until they are translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Shrimp and Wine

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start turning pink. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it's reduced slightly.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Finish Sauce

    Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet, stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add the remaining butter, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir until the butter melts into the sauce.

  5. 5

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
