This recipe for Fettuccine with Shrimp in a Sweet Red Pepper Cayenne Sauce will rock your dinner table. I was first introduced to this recipe by a cousin of mine who found it on Epicurious. I have modified it to suit my taste. You can decide how spicy you want to make it. This recipe can be finished within 15 minutes. All for under $20 total for a family of four. If you are local to Charlotte, grab your super fresh NC shrimp from The Carolina Meat and Fish Co.
Melt butter in pan. Add red pepper, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper.
Toss and allow to cook for about 7 minutes. Cook just long enough to soften the peppers. Add the shrimp, whipping cream, and chicken broth. Cook for another 1 1/2 to 2 minutes (as soon as the shrimp turn pink they are fully-cooked). Do NOT overcook the shrimp.
Add the Parmesan cheese. Be sure to incorporate the Parmesan cheese very slowly to avoid clumping. Allow mixture to thicken up for a few seconds. Remove from heat. Toss in the basil. Pour the sauce over cooked fettuccine, or your favorite pasta. Garnish with a touch more basil and another sprinkling or so of Parmesan cheese. ENJOY! Make extra for leftovers the next day. Everyone is going to love this recipe for Fettuccine with Shrimp in a Red Pepper Cayenne Sauce.

I am more than just recipes. I love fashion and style too! Most importantly, I love my Family (my Hubby and my Fur Babies). My Husband (aka my “Kitchen Bitch”) means the world to me. He’s pretty damn cool too. Not only is he one of the nicest guys you will ever meet, he also has had a lengthy career in professional hockey. Not only winning two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the early ’90’s, but most recently winning the Calder Cup with the Charlotte Checkers, amongst many other accolades. If you live in Charlotte and play hockey, or have a family member who plays, be sure to contact him!
Our life has changed dramatically in the past few years with the passing of our two goldendoodles, Vegas and Viva. We were lucky enough to have Vegas for five years (totally wish it was longer). Most recently, losing our Viva to a brain tumor in July of 2020. We welcomed our mini goldendoodle 7, almost seven years ago. We just added the amazing Hazel! Of course, I am always posting tons and tons of photos! Be sure to check out my recipe for Pet Bone Broth! This broth is super rich in nutrients and will provide your pet with a multitude of health benefits!
