| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Saute Garlic and Basil: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic cloves and fresh basil leaves to the skillet, and sautรฉ until the garlic turns light brown and becomes fragrant. This should take about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. |
| 2 | Cook Vegetables: Next, add the sliced asparagus, diced zucchinis, and chopped green onions to the skillet with the garlic and basil. Cook and stir the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until they become crisp-tender. This will help to release their flavors and soften them slightly. |
| 3 | Prepare Shrimp: Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, it’s time to add the shrimp to the skillet. Make sure the shrimp are cleaned and deveined before adding them to the pan. Cook and stir the shrimp on high heat for about 1 minute, or until they are thoroughly heated through. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and rubbery. |
| 4 | Serve: To serve, place a generous portion of hot fettuccine pasta on each plate. Spoon the shrimp and vegetable mixture over the pasta, making sure to distribute them evenly. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each serving, adding as much or as little as you like. The cheese will melt slightly from the heat of the pasta, adding a creamy and salty flavor to the dish. |
| 5 | Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Italian Shrimp Fettuccine! This dish pairs perfectly with a glass of crisp white wine and a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Buon appetito! |
