Why wouldn't the shrimp share his treasure?

Because he was a little shellfish!  HA HA HA Okay no more bad jokes I promise! (at least for this post!)

I made the yummiest pasta dish for dinner a few nights ago. I got the inspiration from Pinterest, it was originally listed as a shrimp fettucini soup but as always I read the recipe when it was time to cook and came up with my own original recipe. It turned out delicious and it was so easy!! Of course I knew once I tasted it that I had to share. My recipe did not come out like a soup, the sauce really reduced and once I added the pasta it really soaked up the liquid and made it like a sauce for the pasta, which I actually think I would like better than if this had been a soup.


Shrimp Fettuchini

Chop 3 cloves of garlic and 1/4 of a white onion in some butter and olive oil in a large saucepan for about 5 minutes. Chop one and a half large tomatoes and add to the garlic and onion. Add some salt & pepper, a dash of red pepper flakes and a pinch of brown sugar. Stir for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to get soft. Add a cup of half and half cream and 1/2 a cup of white wine. Zest a small lemon and squeeze the juice into the saucepan. Add shrimp. Chop up some fresh basil and add. Turn the heat down and let everything simmer so that the sauce starts to reduce. Add one tablespoon of flour and continue to let it simmer. Boil fettucini or linguini (I used basil and chive fettucini from Trader Joe's) Drain the pasta once it has cooked and add to the sauce and mix. Let it all marinade for about 5 minutes. Garnish with some basil leaves and enjoy!

Some people may want to tone down the garlic a bit, I happen to LOVE garlic. In fact, my motto is- If your lover doesn't love garlic, find another lover! (okay maybe that's a little harsh!) I would give this recipe a 5 out of 5! It was bursting with flavor and I can't wait for the leftovers which will taste even better with all the flavors marrying.

Buon Appetito!!
