What can I pair with this recipe?
If you want to go the traditional route then we recommend a hearty garlic bread toasted to golden perfection. Garlic bread goes with pasta like peanut butter and jelly because it is able to hold up to the heavy and dense texture of this dish. You can also pair it with your favorite side salad to help balance the heaviness of the pasta and sauce.
How do I properly keep this dish warm without overcooking the shrimp?
This recipe is meant to be for a few servings but can be easily doubled or tripled to share. Serve immediately from the oven and if you want to keep it warm use a burner tray on the lowest setting or leave the pan inside the oven turned off to retain the heat. This ensures that the sauce will keep its smooth texture.
These are all the ingredients you need to make this recipe.
1 lb. Shrimp peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
1 Tbsp. Olive oil
8 oz. Fettuccine noodles

2 tsp. Minced garlic
