Ingredients
  

  • 225 g raw shrimp, thawed if frozen
  • 110 g sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 240 ml whole milk or light cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 100 g freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 225 g fettuccine pasta (or gluten-free option)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Pot for boiling pasta
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Colander for draining pasta
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Method
 

  1. Start by draining the sun-dried tomatoes and reserving 2 tablespoons of the oil.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the reserved tomato oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sauté for about a minute.
  3. Toss the shrimp into the skillet, seasoning with salt and paprika. Cook for about 2 minutes until shrimp turn pink and slightly golden.
  4. Pour in the milk or cream, adding dried basil and red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir in grated parmesan cheese until it melts into a creamy sauce.
  5. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt, basil, or red pepper flakes as needed.
  6. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  7. Add cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss until well-coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water. Serve hot.
