8 oz. fettuccine noodles
8 oz. raw large or jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon salt divided
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil divided

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season the shrimp with ½ teaspoon of salt, pepper, and paprika.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are fully cooked. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
