How to Make Velvet Shrimp

  1. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onions and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook for 1 minute more.
  4. Add 1 pound shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1 cup heavy cream until smooth.
  6. Pour the cream mixture into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  7. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  8. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  9. Return the shrimp to the skillet and heat through.
  10. Drain the cooked fettuccine and add it to the skillet with the shrimp and sauce. Toss to coat.
  11. Serve immediately and garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
