Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the fettuccine.
2
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3
In the same skillet, add the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until thickened. Season with salt, nutmeg, and a pinch of black pepper.
4
Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat with the creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine.
5
Serve the creamy shrimp pasta hot, garnished with fresh dill and a sprinkle of parsley. Pair with a side of crusty bread or a green salad for a well-rounded meal.
