How to Make Skillet Shrimp Scampi With Fettuccine

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions, until al dente (about 12 minutes).
2. During the last 6 minutes of pasta cooking, add the green beans to the boiling water. Ensure they remain crisp-tender.
3. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Add the sliced red pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, until softened.
5. Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
6. Pour in the white wine, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth.
8. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the skillet. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, or until the sauce has thickened.
9. Stir in the chopped parsley.
10. Drain the cooked pasta and green beans in a colander.
11. Add the drained pasta and green beans to the skillet with the shrimp mixture.
12. Toss gently to combine.
13. Serve immediately, sprinkled generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
