Ingredients

1 lb large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 cup minced shallot
2 minced garlic cloves
1/4 cup butter
1/2 lb fettuccine pasta, cooked al dente
4 large egg yolks
1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons minced parsley

Directions

1

In a large skillet, cook the shrimp, the shallot and garlic in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, or until shrimp are just firm to touch and opaque.
2

Reduce heat to moderately-low and stir in the fettucine.
3

In a bowl, beat together the yolks, half and half and the Parmesan.
4

Add the egg mixture to the shrimp mixture and cook until the sauce is thickened, tossing all the while so the egg doesn't curdle, about 3-4 minutes.
5

Do not let sauce boil.
6

Stir in parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
