Spicy and creamy....a great combination! Homemade Alfredo is always best, but the Knorr® mix plus Parmesan is a quick easy alternative. Serve over angel hair pasta.

CAJUN SHRIMP ALFREDO
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.

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.

Steps:
- 1. Start cooking the pasta in salted boiling water. Toss the shrimp with the 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
- 2. Melt the butter in large saucepan. Cook the shrimp 2 minutes per side and remove from pan and set aside.
- 3. Add garlic to pan cook 30 seconds. Deglaze with the wine and add the heavy cream, 1 tsp Cajun seasoning and parmigian-reggiano. Cook until thickened a bit.
- 4. Drain the pasta and toss in the alfredo with the shrimp. Garnish with the green onions
Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than frozen shrimp.
- Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shrimp.
- Season the shrimp with Cajun seasoning before cooking. This will give the shrimp a delicious flavor.
- Cook the shrimp in a hot skillet with a little bit of oil. This will help to sear the shrimp and give them a nice golden brown color.
- Do not overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque.
- Make the Alfredo sauce while the shrimp is cooking. This will help to ensure that both the shrimp and the sauce are hot when you serve the dish.
- To make the Alfredo sauce, simply melt butter in a saucepan and then whisk in flour. Gradually whisk in milk and cream until the sauce is smooth and thick. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Once the shrimp and the Alfredo sauce are both ready, combine them in a bowl and stir to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
- Serve the shrimp Alfredo over pasta, rice, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This easy Cajun shrimp Alfredo is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the Alfredo sauce is creamy and rich. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
