You guys… This elegant and so-incredibly-tasty Shrimp Fettuccine with Roasted Pepper Sauce is going to knock your socks off… If I have to pick one dish to have for dinner every single night for the rest of my life, I think I would pick this one. That’s right! It’s THAT GOOD!
MY LATEST VIDEOSI always prefer seafood over meat, and so does my husband. He actually loves fishing, and every chance he gets, he is trying to catch something for dinner. We are staying away from the farmed seafood, since it contains many harmful pollutants. So, while checking my local Sam’s Club for wild-caught shrimp, I found this Wild Caught Argentinian Red Shrimp.
Besides that beautiful, natural red color, these shrimps have a lot to offer:
- Great flavor and texture
- No added antibiotics or growth hormones
- High in Omega-3 fats
- Lower sodium levels

Now, when you have some great, wild-caught shrimp on hand, LET’S START COOKING!

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Prepare the ingredients:
– Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
– Meanwhile, place the roasted peppers together with the liquid from the jar into a food processor or bullet blender and puree until smooth.
2. Heat up a large, non-stick pan. Add butter, shrimp, paprika, and red pepper flakes and cook for 3-4 minutes on high heat. Add salt and garlic, and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Reduce the heat to low and remove the shrimp from the pan. To the same pan, add the pureed roasted pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often.

Quickest meal I’ve ever made! Substituted chicken for 5he shrimp, everyone loved it😋
I am so glad you loved it, Joanne! This sauce works great with all kinds of fish, chicken, and veggies. Thank for the feedback!
Made this tonight. Absolutely delicious! Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback, Jay! This recipe works great with fish/chicken/scallops as well. 🙂
can I use coconut milk instead of half and half ?
I think so, Joy. It will alter the flavor a little, but it’ll work. Thanks!
I made this tonight and everyone loved it!
I wilted fresh spinach in the pepper sauce the last two minurtes before adding the cream, it was a nice addition visually and healthy too.
The only other difference, I used angel hair pasta, it’s a family preference
Definitely a 5 star keeper, thanks
Thank you, Missy! I love the spinach addition! Glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Can’t wait to try this ! The recipe says to purée the jar of peppers w the liquid but in the reviews it says drain ? Can u clarify ? Thanks !
Hi Linda! I used to drain the liquid out of the peppers before. However, after trying to puree the peppers with the liquid together, I realized that it tastes just as great and makes the sauce a bit thinner, so I corrected the recipe. You can always boil down the liquid to reach the desired consistency. I can’t wait for you to try it! Please, let me know when you do, and happy cooking!
I made this for dinner and it was INCREDIBLE. The flavor was amazing and had the perfect amount of spice. It was even better the next day for lunch. The leftovers didn’t last long!! FYI the roasted bell peppers are in the pickle aisle lol
Thank you so much for the feedback, Tess! This is one of my favorite recipes!
Ok so half and half ? Can you explain?
Thanks
Josie
Hi Josie! Half and Half is a blend of equal parts whole milk and light cream. It usually has 10-12% fat, so it much lighter than heavy (whipping) cream. You can make it yourself or use heavy cream instead. Here is a very useful artictle: https://www.spendwithpennies.com/what-is-half-and-half-and-how-to-make-it/
Hello,
Could you please clarify the recipe. Your recipe calls for ONE POUND of Roasted Red Peppers? Is this correct? Thank you.
Hi James! I use 16 oz. jar of roasted peppers in this recipe. It may sound like a lot, but there is a lot of pasta and shrimps here, so once you mix everything with the sauce, it’ll be just enough. Let me know if you try this recipe. Thanks and happy cooking!
Reading the recipe I was thinking roast peppers as in Jalapenos? HOT! You mean bells? I guess because of my heritage when I read roasted peppers I’m thinking jalapenos, serranos, Hatch, Anaheim Chilis…
Hi Annette! Yes, I mean the sweet bell peppers. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I just corrected the recipe, so my readers won’t get confused in future. Hope you’ll give this a try soon!
Very good. My grandson said it tastes like seafood sauce that you would get in a restaurant. We will be having this again. Easy, quick, and good.
Yes! That’s what I am aiming for! Thank you so much, Donna!
I adore recipes like this. My mouth is watering thinking how good this looks.
Thanks, Debra!
My husband isn’t a huge fan of tomato based sauces so I knew this would be a winner. It ended up being lovely, but there was something about the sauce I felt was off….I didn’t drain the peppers! I should have! It would have made the sauce a bit thicker and more rich. But it was still a great hit! Garnished with basil instead of parsley and used penne instead of fettuccine (easier for my 3 and 4 yr olds). Thank you!!
Hi Misty! Yes, the peppers should be drained. I am glad you still enjoyed this recipe. Cheers!
Do you thaw the shrimp?
Hi Michelle! Yes, you should thaw the shrimp before cooking. Thanks!
Are the roasted red peppers the ones that are in jars with liquid At the grocery store?
Hi Megan! You can use the roasted peppers from the jar or roast the peppers yourself. Most of the time I am using the jarred ones, just to save time.
Amazing recipe and I love that roasted pepper sauce!
Thanks, Jessie! It’s one of my favorite dinner recipes. 🙂
