Fettuccine with shrimp cream and brandy is a rich and flavorful dish that combines the delicacy of shrimp with a touch of intensity from the brandy. Here’s the recipe to prepare this succulent dish.

Ingredients

  • 250g of fettuccine
  • 200g of cleaned shrimp
  • 100ml of cooking cream
  • 50ml of brandy
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • Chopped parsley to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil for the fettuccine. Once boiling, cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions to achieve al dente pasta.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, lightly sauté a clove of garlic in extra virgin olive oil. Then add the shrimp and let them sauté until slightly golden.

  3. Deglaze the shrimp with the brandy and let the alcohol evaporate over high heat.

  4. Lower the flame and add the cooking cream, stirring gently until you get a smooth cream. Adjust with salt and pepper.

  5. Drain the al dente fettuccine and transfer them to the skillet with the shrimp cream. Toss the fettuccine in the sauce for a few minutes, so they absorb the flavor of the cream well.

  6. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

  7. Plate the fettuccine creating nests using kitchen tongs or a fork, and evenly distribute the shrimp and cream.
