About

Seaside Fettuccine Bake offers a very different seaside experience than other similar shrimp bakes, but the ocean of flavors it delivers? Absolutely worth exploring! There's the sweet and savory shrimp and tender pasta, of course, but there's also shorelines of herbs and spicy chiles, waves of melty cheese, and cliffs of tortilla chips with tomatoes on top. This Seaside Fettuccine Bake might capture the full experience of being by the shore and soaking in the atmosphere better than any other seafaring dish!
