Steps
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the cubed mozzarella, stirring continuously until fully melted and combined.
- Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, along with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer gently for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet, tossing well to coat the pasta in the sauce.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle freshly chopped basil over the top before serving.

Notes
For a creamier sauce, add the mozzarella gradually and ensure heat is low to prevent stringiness.
