Fettuccine with Shrimp, Pesto, Preserved Lemons and Crunchy Garlic Oil

I didn't need ChatGPT to make this, and really just made a similar recipe off the top of my head, but it was nice to know it would probably come out OK. It was quite good.

I replaced the garlic, parsley and parmesan with some frozen pesto cubes and replaced the red pepper flakes with the S&B Crunchy Garlic Oil.
