Preparation Time
- Preparation Time: 15 minutes
- Cooking Time: 25 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of colossal shrimps, peeled and deveined
- 1 can of fire-roasted tomatoes
- 1 can of coconut milk
- 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Your favorite seasonings to taste
- Shrimp Marinade:
- Jerk seasoning
- Sofrito
- Diced garlic
Directions
- Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine shrimp with jerk seasoning, sofrito, and diced garlic. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the sauce.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet, sauté additional diced garlic and a pinch of jerk seasoning in a splash of oil until fragrant. Add the sofrito, fire-roasted tomatoes, and coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook the Shrimp: In another pan, sauté the marinated shrimp just until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add cooked fettuccine to the tomato and coconut milk sauce. Stir in Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses until they melt and the sauce is creamy.
- Assemble and Serve: Layer the sautéed shrimp over the top of the fettuccine. Serve hot.
Cook Notes
- If the sauce thickens too much upon cooling or reheating, simply stir in a little more coconut milk to achieve the desired consistency.
Variations
- Keto Version: Substitute the fettuccine with zucchini noodles and use a keto-friendly cheese.
- Low-Carb Version: Use shirataki noodles instead of fettuccine and adjust the amount of cheese to reduce overall carbohydrates.
