How to Make Outback Steakhouse Toowoomba Pasta Copycat Recipe

  1. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste).
  4. Bring the cream mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally with a whisk, until slightly thickened.
  6. While the sauce simmers, sauté 8 ounces sliced mushrooms in a separate small skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-low heat until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Add the sautéed mushrooms to the simmering sauce.
  8. In the same small skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and cook 1 pound shrimp over medium heat until pink and opaque (about 3-5 minutes). Add shrimp to the sauce.
  9. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped green onions during the last 2 minutes of simmering.
  10. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce.
  11. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 cup).
