Ingredients

½ cup onion chopped
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1/3 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream
¼ teaspoon pepper
¾ cup Romano cheese grated, or Parmesan cheese
pinch nutmeg optional
12 ounces fettuccine or pasta of your choice
1 pound shrimp LARGE, raw or cooked, peeled and deveined, tails cut off
Parsley for garnish

Instructions

Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent. Add the shrimp and sauté just a few minutes until the shrimp turns pink. With a slotted spoon remove the shrimp and set them aside.
Using a whisk, add in the heavy cream, pepper, Romano cheese and nutmeg and blend together for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low.
Drain the pasta, reserving about one cup of pasta water.
Add the shrimp and pasta to the skillet and toss to coat well. If it seems too dry, sprinkle in some reserved pasta water a little at a time.
Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

EXTRA TIP:

VARIATIONS: Add in vegetables of your choice to the sauce.

SHRIMP: There are about 6 to 7 shrimp per portion. If you want more, go ahead, add a half pound more to the recipe! Or use medium-size shrimp instead of large!
