Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz shrimp (medium or jumbo), peeled, deveined, tails removed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 7 baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup white onion, chopped
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided (1 tbsp for shrimp, 3 tbsp for vegetables and mushrooms)
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for finishing)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (for finishing)
  • 8 oz dry fettuccine pasta

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet
  • Colander
  • Tongs or pasta fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and keep warm.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When the butter is melted and hot, add the shrimp seasoned with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until shrimp are pink and opaque. Transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons butter to the same skillet and melt. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes, until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
  4. Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they soften and release their juices, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a simmer. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and simmer for 1 minute to combine flavors.
  6. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and stir until melted. Remove the skillet from the heat and season with an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste.
  7. Toss the cooked fettuccine into the skillet until evenly coated with the sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • I used medium shrimp that were already peeled and deveined.
  • Any pasta shape can be substituted for fettuccine.
