shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and provides protein.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

Add brown rice fettuccini noodles to the boiling water and stir to ensure they are submerged.

Cook the noodles according to the package directions, usually just under 10 minutes.

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until the onions are a little translucent.

Add peeled shrimp (with tails on) to the saucepan.

Add organic unsalted butter to the shrimp (optional).

Add lemon juice and beer to the saucepan and simmer until the shrimp start to turn pink, about a few minutes.

Add pasta sauce, fresh basil, and spices (salt, pepper, chili flakes) to the saucepan and stir well.

Cook for another few minutes until everything combines and thickens.

Add the cooked fettuccini noodles to the saucepan and stir well to coat the pasta with the sauce.

If needed, add reserved pasta water to thicken the sauce.

Take the pasta off the heat and toss with tongs to ensure shrimp is evenly distributed throughout the noodles.

Top with fresh basil and give it a quick toss before plating.
