- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and devein the shrimp, rinse in cool water and pat dry with paper towels. Grate sufficient zest (yellow part only) from the lemon to measure 1 tsp., then squeeze the juice from the lemon; set the zest and juice aside.
- When the water comes to a boil, add in the fettuccine and simmer just till al dente (tender but still hard), 2 to 3 min for fresh pasta, 5 to 7 min for dry. While the pasta is still cooking, combine the butter and cream in a medium skillet (preferably non-stick), bring to a boil and boil for about 3 min, stirring occasionally. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice and shrimp and simmer till the shrimp are opaque through, 3 to 5 min; the shrimp will be proportionately pink and partly curled.
- Drain the pasta thoroughly and put it in a large bowl. Pour the warm shrimp sauce over, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and stir quickly and thoroughly to coat the noodles with sauce.
- Transfer the warm pasta to individual plates, distributing the shrimp proportionately. Serve immediately, passing extra grated Parmesan cheese alongside.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: Fettuccine Alfredo is a favorite standby of pasta lovers - simple and pure with the flavors of good pasta, good cream and good cheese. Here we add in a splash of new flavors with shrimp and lemon. Alfredo was, legend has it, a restaurateur in Rome who made this pasta sauce popular. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese makes all the difference in this simple recipe.
