Steps:
- 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, 7 to 8 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the remaining water.
- Combine flour and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Pat shrimp dry and add to the bowl, tossing to coat.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp into the skillet once the butter bubbles and cook for 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a clean bowl. Add garlic to the same skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any brown bits.
- Whisk in remaining flour-Cajun seasoning slowly until well incorporated. Season with white pepper and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in cream; cook for 2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese slowly, whisking constantly. Cook until sauce has thickened, 2 minutes more. Return shrimp to the skillet and add pasta; toss to combine.
- Mix in a little of the cooking water if the sauce is too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes. Add the scallions, celery, bell pepper, and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Start cooking the pasta. Melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat, toss the shrimp in the cajun seasoning, add to pan and cook, about 2-3 minutes per side, and set aside. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about a 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan with the wine, add the heavy cream, parmesan and cajun seasoning and cook until it thickens a bit, about 3-5 minutes. Toss the pasta in with the Alfredo sauce along with the shrimp and serve garnished with green onions.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will be. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, and high-quality cheese and pasta.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but remove it from the water a minute or two before it is fully cooked. This will help it to retain its shape and texture when you add it to the sauce.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and vegetables. If it is too thin, add a little more flour or cornstarch.
- Serve immediately: Cajun fettuccine Alfredo is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is creamy.
Conclusion:
Cajun fettuccine Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner, give this recipe a try.
