Step 1

Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the fettuccine to the boiling water and cook until the pasta is tender, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and transfer the pasta to a bowl. Toss with ½ tablespoon of olive oil so the fettuccine noodles don't stick together and set it aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the skillet and sprinkle ⅛ of a teaspoon of salt over the shrimp. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side and with a fork, flip the shrimp over and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and opaque. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 4

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and top with ½ tablespoon of olive oil.  Toss to combine.  Transfer to a plate or a bowl and top with Parmesan cheese.
