Lemon Garlic White Wine Shrimp Fettuccine Pasta
Description
Lemon Garlic White Wine Shrimp Fettuccine Pasta starts with cooking fettuccine to al dente, then preparing a sauce by whisking flour into heated butter and olive oil, followed by slow incorporation of white wine and milk. The mixture thickens and is finished with Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to create a glossy, creamy sauce. Shrimp are cooked separately with garlic, lemon juice, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper until just cooked through, adding a citrusy, lightly spicy note.
The shrimp are then combined with the pasta and sauce, allowing rich flavors and textures to meld. Fresh parsley adds a bright garnish, elevating the dish visually and by taste.
The recipe is flexible to subsitute vegetable broth for white wine, offering an alternative sauce base. This dish serves well as a main course for seafood and pasta lovers looking for a balance of creamy and acidic flavors.
