In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Stir in the chipotle peppers and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the chipotle cream sauce. Cook for an additional minute.
