• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 pinch salt to taste

Directions for making Creamy Shrimp Pasta with Mushrooms

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Immediately add shrimp and garlic; cook until shrimp is pink, 3 to 4 minutes.

4. Add the shrimp; immediately pour in half-and-half, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, constantly stirring, until cheese melts, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover with a lid and remove from heat.
6. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
7. If cream sauce is too thick, add some pasta water in small amounts. Drain pasta and rinse with cold water. Add to the cream sauce.
