Cooking Steps
In a resealable gallon freezer bag, place half of the seasoned flour mixture.
Add the shrimp to the bag.
Shake the bag until the shrimp are coated.
They will be lightly dusted with seasoned flour mixture.
In a large pan or dutch oven, over medium low heat, melt 2 Tbsp butter and add the shrimp, shallots, garlic and mushrooms.
Sauté for 7 minutes and then remove the mixture to a plate.
Add the remaining butter to the pan and once melted, add the remaining seasoned flour mixture.
Stir for 2 minutes.
Slowly add the milk and using a whisk, stir to prevent or remove lumps, if needed.
Slowly add the half and half and using a whisk, stir to prevent or remove lumps, if needed.
Add the parmesan cheese and stir for 3 minutes until it is melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Add the capers and lemon juice and stir for 3 minutes.
Add the shrimp and vegetable mixture back to the pan and continue to stir for 2 more minutes.
The sauce will be fairly thick at this point.
Turn off the heat to the sauce and prepare the pasta.
In a large pot, cook the fettuccine using the directions on the package.
After it is cooked, reserve 2 cups of the water that the pasta was cooked in and then drain the rest.
Combine the sauce and the pasta water and give it a few stirs.
Add the fettuccine.
Gently toss to ensure the ingredients are mixed together well.
Serve the pasta with chopped parsley, fresh cracked pepper, and lemon quarters.

If you can't find oyster mushrooms, white mushrooms are a good substitute.
