  6. Cook until shrimp turns pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. While the shrimp cooks, prepare 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions.
  8. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the shrimp mixture. Toss to combine.
  9. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese (amount to taste) before serving.
