Jerk Shrimp Fettuccine – A Spicy Caribbean Delight

Instructions for Making Jerk Shrimp Fettuccine

Step 1: Cook the Fettuccine

1. Boil a large pot of salted water over high heat. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
2. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 2: Season the Shrimp

1. In a mixing bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with jerk seasoning until evenly coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
2. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4: Prepare the Cream Sauce

1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
2. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant (but not browned).
3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously until it starts to simmer.
4. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in some reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
5. Season the sauce with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Step 5: Combine the Dish

1. Add the cooked fettuccine to the cream sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
2. Gently fold in the cooked jerk shrimp, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the pasta.

Step 6: Serve

1. Serve the Jerk Shrimp Fettuccine immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
