Ingredients
  

  • 340 grams Raw Frozen Shrimp
  • 200 grams Fettuccini Pasta 4 portions
  • 10 pieces Cremini Mushrooms sliced
  • 6 cloves Garlic finely minced
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 cup Pasta Water to make a sauce
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese for garnish
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Thaw and peel the shrimp

  • Place the frozen shrimp in a bowl of cold water for 10–15 minutes, or until they are just soft enough to handle. Drain well.
    340 grams Raw Frozen Shrimp
  • Hold the shrimp by the tail and gently pull off the shell starting at the legs. If needed, remove the vein by running a small knife along the back and rinsing under cold water.

Cook the Sauce

  • Before starting to cook the dish, you want to make sure that your veggies are prepped in order for the cooking process to go smoothly.
  • Mince the garlic cloves, and dice the onion finely. Slice the mushrooms and keep them separate.
    10 pieces Cremini Mushrooms, 6 cloves Garlic, 1 medium Yellow Onion
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add the pasta. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook as per the directions on the packaging, or al dente.
    200 grams Fettuccini Pasta
  • Place a large frying pan on medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil. Add in the prepared onion. Cook until translucent and then add the garlic and mushrooms. Keep cooking until the mushrooms have reduced.
  • Push the cooked veggies to one side of the pan. Drizzle in a little more olive oil on the cleared side and add the thawed raw shrimp. Cook full and then stir in with the veggies.
  • Add the tomato paste and Old Bay seasoning to the frying pan, stir to combine. Use a ladle to add some of the pasta water into the frying pan, 1 cup at a time. Bring to a simmer and cook until sauce reaches a desired consistency.
    2 tablespoon Tomato Paste, 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning, 1 cup Pasta Water
  • Add the cooked pasta to the frying pan and stir it around until well coated in the sauce. Pour in a touch more pasta water if it gets too dry. Serve with grated parmesan and chopped fresh parsley.
    ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese, 2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
