Instructions
Step 1: Season clean shrimp with 1/2 tbsp Old Bay and 1/2 tbsp jerk seasoning. Prep vegetables. Step 2: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Liberally salt the water, then add the fettuccine pasta and boil al dente according to package instructions. Drain the pasta, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, and set aside. Step 3: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Cook shrimp for 2 minutes on each side, then set aside. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add butter. Add onions and sauté for a couple of minutes, then add garlic, thyme, and allspice. Sauté for another minute, then add the bell peppers. Sauté for another two minutes, then add the heavy cream. Step 5: Allow the cream to come to a rolling simmer for about 3 minutes until it begins to thicken. Season with the rest of the Old Bay, jerk seasoning, and parsley. Reduce heat to low and mix in parmesan and mozzarella. Step 6: Once cheese melts and is fully incorporated into the sauce, add the fettuccine to the sauce and combine everything well, then mix in the cooked shrimp. Mix in the reserved pasta water as needed.View original recipe
