Category: Pasta - Seafood

1 lb fettuccine noodles
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup butter
24 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
1 lb fresh jumbo shrimp, butterflied
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 cup chopped green onions
1 tbsp red pepper
2 tbsp flour
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 pint heavy cream
1 small wedge (5 oz.) Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt to taste

Cook noodles according to package directions in boiling water with oil. While noodles are cooking, melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped garlic and shrimp; cook until shrimp turn pink, but do not allow garlic to turn brown. Add parsley, mushrooms, onions and red pepper; saute for 1 minute.

Add flour, mix thoroughly and add wine. Simmer for about 30 seconds, then add cream and heat through. Drain noodles and add to sauce with half the grated cheese. Fold in gently until noodles are well coated and cheese is melted. Salt lightly.

If sauce is too thin, continue heating until sauce reduces to a creamy consistency. If sauce is too thick, add cream. Garnish with chopped parsley and additional grated cheese and serve immediately.
