Method
 

  1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Let it sit for about 10 minutes. (WATCH VIDEO BELOW)
  2. Prep the Veggies: Dice your onion and mince the garlic so everything is ready to go.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Heat a pan over medium, add a little oil if needed, and sear the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. Build the Sauce: In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 7 minutes.
  5. Make it Creamy: Turn off the heat and quickly whisk in the flour slurry to avoid clumping. Pour in the heavy cream back on the heat & and stir until smooth. Let it bubble & thicken for a couple minutes!
  6. Finish the Pasta: Add the shrimp back in, then stir in all the seasonings, the cooked fusilli, and the feta. Toss until everything is coated in that dreamy, creamy sauce on low heat. Serve & enjoy!! (WATCH VIDEO BELOW)
