Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine pasta according to package directions until al dente (about 9 to 10 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup of starchy pasta water, then drain pasta.
- Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels and season with kosher salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Heat 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and sear for 1.5 to 2 minutes per side until pink, opaque, and lightly golden. Transfer shrimp to a warm plate immediately.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic; sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant without browning. Pour in chicken bone broth and lemon juice to deglaze, scraping up all flavorful browned bits from the pan.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Turn heat to low and whisk in grated Parmigiano-Reggiano until silky and smooth.
- Add drained fettuccine and seared shrimp back into the skillet. Toss with tongs for 1 minute until pasta is glossy and thoroughly coated in the sauce (splash in reserved pasta water if needed to loosen).
- Remove from heat, garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley and extra grated parmesan, and serve immediately!
