Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

¼ cup butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (12 ounce) package pork sausage links, sliced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen bell pepper, celery, and onion blend (such as Pictsweet® Farms Seasoning Blend)
1 (4 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
2 tablespoons Creole seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (15 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce (such as Bertolli®)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) box fettuccine noodles
2 tablespoons Italian bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage, frozen vegetables, and mushrooms. Saute until sausage is almost fully cooked, onions are tender, and any liquid from the frozen vegetables has almost fully evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in Creole seasoning, garlic, and pepper; cook for 2 minutes. Add shrimp, Alfredo sauce, and Parmesan cheese. Cook and stir until sauce has thickened and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain fettuccine, top with shrimp-sausage mixture, and sprinkle with bread crumbs and parsley.

CAJUN SHRIMP ALFREDO

Cajun Shrimp Alfredo image

This is my version of Dave and Buster's Cajun Shrimp Alfredo. This goes together rather quickly and is so good. I would certainly serve this to company by doubling the recipe. Also, if you like spicy but not to spicy you can leave out the last addition of the Creole seasoning, or you can add more if you really like spicy.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, without tails
2 tablespoons tony's creole seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 cup tomatoes, diced, I used fresh from the garden
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg yolk
1 cup onion, diced, divided
8 ounces linguine
1/2-1 tablespoon tony's creole seasoning

Steps:

Get all of your ingredients ready, tomatoes diced, onion diced and so forth because the recipe goes together fast once the shrimp is cooked.
Toss the shrimp in 1 tablespoon of the Creole Seasoning, set aside.
Fill a pan with water adding salt to season the pasta. When water boils add pasta and cook until al dente.
While pasta is cooking, heat a skillet with the olive oil and butter inside. Add the mushrooms and garlic powder when the butter has melted, cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, next add 1/2 cup of the onions and cook for another minute then add the shrimp. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink.
When the shrimp has cooked add the cream and the other addition of Creole Seasoning (the 1/2 to 1 T). Bring this to a simmer then turn the heat down to medium low.
Add the cheese, egg yolk, and the tomatoes. Heat until the sauce thickens. The heat needs to be low to keep the egg from curdling.
When the sauce has thickened add the other 1/2 cup of onions and the drained pasta. Toss unil the pasta is coated. Garnish with extra diced tomatoes and cheese if desired.

Tips:

Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have Cajun seasoning, you can make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
Don't overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and rubbery.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to prevent the sauce from burning.
Garnish the pasta with fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Conclusion:

This Cajun shrimp pasta Alfredo is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of Cajun spices, creamy Alfredo sauce, and tender shrimp is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with a side of salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
