1.Cook the Pasta

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, but do not rinse, to preserve the starch that helps sauce cling to the noodles.

2.Prepare the Shrimp

Pat shrimp dry with paper towels, then season with salt, paprika, and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp in a single layer for about 2 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet to prevent overcooking.

3.Build the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until golden and soft.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Add white wine and cook until most of the liquid evaporates, leaving the concentrated flavor behind.

Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 minutes, then add Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

4.Combine and Serve

Turn off the heat and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the cooked fettuccine and shrimp to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the Alfredo sauce.

5.Garnish and Enjoy

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
