Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 2
  • 12 jumbo shrimp
  • 1 medium tomato (cubed, remove excess liquid if really juicy)
  • 3 garlic cloves (chopped fine, divided)
  • 1 medium zucchini (cubed 1/2 in or so)
  • 7 -8 medium mushrooms (cut in thirds)
  • 2 ounces blue cheese (crumbled)
  • 4 ounces parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (1/2 n 1/2 will do but reduce chicken stock)
  • 6 ounces chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup sauvignon blanc wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 lb fettuccine (thick home made style)
  • 3 ounces olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Recipe

  • 1 i like my veggies firm!
  • 2 so this is what i did;
  • 3 begin boiling water for the fettuccine -- (in a sufficiently large pot).
  • 4 in a large fry pan:.
  • 5 clove garlic in 1 oz olive oil and 1 tbls butter heated pretty hot,.
  • 6 add zucchini.
  • 7 cook until firm and transfer to a bowl, (drain but return liquid to pan).
  • 8 clove garlic in the returned liquid, add mushrooms,.
  • 9 cook until firm and transfer to the same bowl, (drain but return liquid to pan).
  • 10 clove garlic in the returned liquid, add pealed shrimp whole turning once,.
  • 11 note: i under cook my shrimp as they cook after removing. but just before i remove them i stand them up in the pan to cook the thicker part a bit more, the thinner tail will over cook if you only cook them on their sides -- (my opinion).
  • 12 put on the fettuccini -- (my thick fettuccini took 18 min til andante).
  • 13 add the wine to the above "returned liquid," in the pan and reduce,.
  • 14 add in the cream and chicken stock, blue cheese, 2 oz parmesan,.
  • 15 add 1 oz butter and reduce until 2/3 of what it was,.
  • 16 when the pasta is within 1 minute of being finished,.
  • 17 add the tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, red peppers to the cream sauce,.
  • 18 drain the pasta well, add 1 oz olive oil to the pasta pot and return the fettuccine and add the remaining parmesan and toss,.
  • 19 add the shrimp to the fry pan sauce mixture, heat as you are plating the pasta,.
  • 20 spoon the shrimp veggie cream sauce over the pasta,.
  • 21 crack pepper over the presentation,.
  • 22 serve with crusty bread --
