Shrimp are ready in mere minutes, making this a great dinner solution during the summer months. The shrimp and sauce are also great served on their own.
1. To a large skillet set over medium-high heat add oil. When oil is hot and shimmering add shrimp and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until shrimp turn pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer shrimp to a large plate.
2. Return skillet to medium heat and add onions. Cook, stirring often until onions are softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add sun-dried tomato pieces, wine, and cream, stirring well to combine. Adjust heat so the sauce maintains a simmer. Cook until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add shrimp to skillet during the last 3 to 4 minutes of cooking to heat shrimp through and finish cooking. Remove skillet from heat, taste, and season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. When water is boiling carefully add fettuccini and cook according to package directions. When pasta is al dente, using tongs, transfer the cooked pasta to the skillet with the shrimp and gently toss to coat the pasta in the sauce.
3. To serve: Divide pasta and sauce between 4 warmed shallow serving bowls. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
