Shrimp and Pasta with Tomatoes and Peppers

A friend was telling me about a dish he had with fettuccine and a buttered wine sauce. I had some shrimp on hand, and some frozen pasta dough, so I made my own version of it!

1 pound cooked fettuccine noodles

1 1/2 pounds fully peeled shrimp

3 small orange peppers, sliced thin

1 cup diced tomatoes

2 Tbsp unsalted butter

2 Tbsp olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-2 Tbsp fresh basil, finely chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Start by melting the butter in a large deep pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the oil and allow it to warm for a few moments. Add the garlic and cook until it has softened, then add the peppers and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and cook the until they have softened. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and firmed. Remove the pan from the heat, add the basil, and toss some to combine.

To plate, place some of the pasta on your plate, and top with some of the shrimp, peppers, and tomatoes. Top with some fresh grated parmesan if you wish, and eat!! Hope you enjoy!!
