In a large pot, boil salted water. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook it until al dente, which typically takes about 8-10 minutes. Drain it well and set it aside to keep warm.

In a large pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes, being careful not to let it brown too much.

Melt the butter in the same pan used for the garlic. Add the shrimp to the pan and stir occasionally. Cook until the shrimp turn opaque and pink, which should take approximately 4-6 minutes.

Once the shrimp are cooked, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until everything combines and the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.

Transfer the cooked fettuccine into the pan with the shrimp mixture. Gently stir until the pasta is evenly coated with the garlic butter sauce and shrimp.

Plate the garlic butter shrimp pasta and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy this quick and fancy dinner!
