11 cooking steps

  1. Combine shrimp with salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil for the marinade. Mix well and marinate for at least 5 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a pan over medium high heat. Sauté the marinated shrimp until it turns orange, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
  3. Boil 1 quart of water and add 1 teaspoon salt. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve a little pasta water and set pasta aside.
  4. Melt the butter in a clean pan and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sauté garlic, chili flakes, and grape tomatoes until the tomatoes soften.
  5. Add tomato paste and pour in chicken broth. Simmer for 3 minutes.
  6. Add cream cheese and stir until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Stir in Italian seasoning and return the sautéed shrimp to the pan. Simmer for 3 minutes.
  8. Stir in sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and basil leaves. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.
