Crispy Blackened Shrimp Fettuccine

October 2, 2014 by Jaida 3 Comments

Hiiiiii, friends!!! Can you believe that it’s October already?? I mean, wasn’t it just the beginning of summer?? I’m not ready for winter, y’all. Not even a little bit. Fall, sure. Winter…never. I am ready to make some yummy fall dishes. You know…soup, chili, pumpkin-y things. Then if we could just skip right over winter and head straight into spring, that would be fantastic. Don’t you agree?? Not only is the cold pretty terrible, but I lose my daylight around 6 o’clock instead of 8 or 9. Big boo to that. Big fat, I-can’t-take-pictures-if-it’s-dark, BOO.

Things have been pretty crazy lately, but my schedule is finally settling down. I got a promotion at work, cut down the days I’m working at my second job so I now have most of my weeknights and all of my weekend FREE!! You have no idea how excited that makes me. And alas, with those extra weeknights free, I actually have the time to cook and take pictures when there is actually still light outside. I told J last night, “Baby, it’s a miracle!! I actually got a picture of supper!!!” That’s how bad it’s been you guys. In case the two week silence didn’t let you know. But, I’m baaaaack!! And with a pretty killer recipe, too.

Blackened Shrimp Fettucine 001
Just look at those beautiful shrimpies. Yep, I called them shrimpies. And I wish I had some in front of me right now. Coated in blackened seasoning and crisped up in a little oil & butter, tossed with fettuccine and a creamy sauce. Yeah. That right there is pretty much heaven in a skillet. And then in a bowl. And then in your mouth.
I don’t make pasta dishes all that often, but when I make one like this I have to ask myself, why?? Why don’t I make them more, because they are sooooo delicious!! I guess we appreciate and enjoy it more though, since it’s not an everyday occurrence…more like a super tasty treat. Let’s just put it this way…I rarely go back for seconds, but I had  to get another scoop of this before putting away the leftovers. That, my friends, says a lot. We had a nice side salad to go along, and I had it all completed in about…12 minutes. Yep, you read that right.

Crispy Blackened Shrimp Fettuccine
Slightly adapted from Jo Cooks
Ingredients
  • 6 oz fettuccine
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
  • 1 Tbsp blackened seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt & pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Preparation
  1. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, place the shrimp in a large bowl. Sprinkle with blackened seasoning and toss to coat. Add more seasoning if you’d like. Sprinkle flour on shrimp and toss again to coat.
  3. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and butter and allow butter to melt. Add shrimp and cook, without moving them, for 1-2 minutes to get a good sear and crispness. Carefully flip the shrimp and repeat the process for another minute or so. Remove shrimp to a plate.
  4. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the same skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and more blackened seasoning, if you’d like. Stir to break up any bits that may be on the bottom of the skillet and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens a bit. Add in the parmesan and stir to combine.
  5. Add in the drained fettuccine and stir to coat in the sauce. Top with the reserved shrimp, garnish with some chopped parsley if you like, and serve with your favorite side salad and crusty bread!

    I wish I could make this. I can't do shrimp (allergy), and although I've made stuff for the husband before, I'm not sure I could peel or devein shrimp myself!

    It looks REALLY good, and I know the husband would love it. Must learn how to handle shrimpies.

    I buy the ones that are already peeled/tail removed, etc. I don't do the peelin' myself 😉

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
