Honey Lime Shrimp Fettucini

Here's something a little sweet, a little spicy with a hint of citrus! All these flavors combined make for a very refreshing meal! If you want, you could put the shrimp on skewers and throw them on your grill but I loved the fact that the pasta took on the taste of the marinade once it was combined with the shrimp! Yummy, yummy!

Honey Lime Shrimp Fettucini



1 pound shrimp ~ shelled, deveined and tails off
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 - 2 cloves garlic ~ minced
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 ounces fettucini ~ cooked and drained

Combine all ingredients in a plastic zip top bag.

In a hot skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. 

Remove shrimp from marinade and cook in butter until shrimp are almost done. 

Throw leftover marinade away.

The goods.

 
I like to place my plastic bag inside 
a glass, then add the marinade ingredients.

 
After all the marinade is in the bag, 
add the shrimp and allow to chill for about an hour.

 
Melt a little butter in a hot skillet.

 
Cook the shrimp.

 
Then add the cooked pasta and toss.

 
Sweet, citrus-y, spicy and delicious!
