# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Begin by cooking the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Once it's tender, drain and set it aside.
02 -
Toss your shrimp in a bowl with the jerk seasoning so every piece gets a nice, even coating.
03 -
Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and just curl up, about 3-4 minutes. Scoop them out and set aside.
04 -
In that same skillet, add the bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté until everything softens and smells amazing.
05 -
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, gently stirring until it all comes together. Sprinkle in the Parmesan, and season the sauce with a little salt and pepper—taste as you go.
06 -
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing until the pasta is nicely coated in the creamy sauce.
07 -
Return the shrimp to the skillet and let everything warm through for a minute or two. Finish off by scattering some fresh parsley on top, then serve right away and enjoy.
