Instructions
Sautee garlic in olive oil and sear shrimp for 2-3 minutes (make sure garlic doesn’t burn).
Remove shrimp and in the same pan add butter, chili, black pepper, nutmeg and stir. Then add add flour and mix for 30 seconds to create a roux (will help thicken the sauce a bit).
Next, pour milk and allow it to thicken a bit, then add cream, and lemon zest. Add salt to taste. If your sauce is too thick, add more milk.
Boil ½ lb fettucine in salted boiling water (I add a tbsp of salt to the water) until they float to the top and cooked through. Drain and allow to cool before adding to the sauce.
Add shrimp and mix thoroughly and top with more shrimp, parsley, #parmesan and lemon zest
