Shrimp Fettuccine Video Tutorial
I 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!
HOW TO MAKE SHRIMP FETTUCCINE:
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.
4. Add Half & Half and Parmesan and cook for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat.
5. Return the shrimp to the pan and add the fettuccine. Mix everything well.
6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
That's it! A quick, delicious, and filling dinner is ready!
This dish stays well in the refrigerator and tastes great when reheated. Although, I doubt you'll get to that point. 😉

So easy to make and absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, except cut it in half. Came out great.
Thanks, Linda!
Fantastic meal with outstanding flavor. It will become one of my favorites!
Local stores only carry 12 oz jars of peppers so I used 2 jars. Turned out great but a bit watery. In hindsite I will only 1 jar next time.
Hello!! I was unable to find roasted bell pepper sauce in my local grocery store. Do you by any chance have a recipe as to how I could make my own sauce? Thank you for the recipe, can’t wait to try!
Hi Yadira! You can roast the peppers yourself ( https://toriavey.com/how-to/roasted-bell-peppers/) or buy it online. Thanks for stopping by and let me know if you'll try it!
This was really good! Looked interesting with roasted red pepper sauce instead of tomatoes. Simple and fast to put together. Had to add a little chicken broth because there wasn’t a lot of sauce and it was a little thick. But overall was an excellent tasting recipe. It paired beautifully with shrimp. Thanks for sharing a new recipe for red sauce. I will be making this again.
Thanks, Diane! I actually created this sauce by accident, but it has been a huge hit in my family. I've made many recipes with similar sauce since then. 🙂
I’m glad that you made it by accident because here I am again making it for dinner tonight! Yummy.
Haha! Thanks!
We LOVED this. It was perfect.
Thank you, Diane!
