How to Make Garlic Shrimp And Pasta

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and chicken broth until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted and sizzling.
  3. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown.
  4. Add shrimp, parsley, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper to the skillet.
  5. Stir and cook until shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir the cornstarch mixture again and pour it into the skillet.
  7. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, cook fettuccine according to package directions.
  9. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the shrimp and sauce.
  10. Stir in balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese. Toss to coat.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parmesan cheese.
