Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1\/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 2: Saut\u00e9 the Shrimp<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li>Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Saut\u00e9 for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.<\/li>\n<li>Pour in the chicken broth, using a spatula to scrape up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n<li>Lower the heat and add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.<\/li>\n<li>Add the lemon zest and lemon juice for a fresh burst of flavor. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 4: Combine and Serve<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together gently to ensure the pasta and shrimp are well coated with the creamy sauce.<\/li>\n<li>If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta cooking water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.<\/li>\n<li>Sprinkle with chopped parsley and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Recipe Summary<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Preparation Time:<\/strong> 25 minutes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Calories per Serving:<\/strong> Approximately 520 (serves 4)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This Creamy Garlic Shrimp Pasta is an exquisite blend of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
