• 20 large shrimp, peeled and deviened
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 red sweet pepper, diced
• 2 medium bananas, sliced

Method

In a large pot cook fettuccini until al dente, approximately 10 minutes; drain. Meanwhile, in large saucepan, heat oil and saute shrimp, onion and sweet pepper for 5 minutes or until shrimp turn opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside, leaving onion and pepper in skillet. Add banana slices and juices; simmer, uncovered, over medium heat until bananas are softened. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro, habaneras, butter and Parmesan cheese.
