Place shrimp on a tray lined with paper towels to dry them.

In a pot, bring water to a boil and add sufficient salt for cooking the pasta.

In a skillet, add butter and a little olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.

Cook the shrimp in the skillet over medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes until they are cooked but not overdone.

Remove the shrimp from the skillet.

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and melt it.

Pour in heavy cream, add salt, and a little nutmeg, and stir.

Add black pepper and let the mixture come to a simmer, cooking for 2 minutes on low heat.

Stir in Parmesan cheese and mix until melted, about 2 minutes.

Add the shrimp back into the sauce and cook for another 1-2 minutes on low heat.

Cook the fettuccine pasta in boiling water for about 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain.

Transfer the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and stir to combine, adding a little more olive oil to prevent sticking.
