RASTA PASTA
Inspired by Footprints Cafe's famous Rasta Pasta, this is my version adapted by taste and using two recipes (Alicia's Pepperpot Rasta Pasta https://www.alicaspepperpot.com/rasta-pasta-creamy-pasta-jerk-chicken-shrimp/ & Delish Rasta Pasta https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a23570381/rasta-pasta-recipe/) for inspiration...

Steps:
- 1. Season chicken and shrimp with Creole/Cajun seasoning (I use Tony Chachere's or Emeril's Original Essence), 1 tbs of Jerk Seasoning (I use Badia or Grace), a dash of browning sauce (I use Grace browning sauce) and 3 sprigs of thyme or dried thyme. Allow to marinate for at least one hour or overnight (preferred)
- 2. Cook and drain pasta, set aside. I under cook the pasta slightly because you will toss it in a hot sauce at the end
- 3. Heat oil on medium/high heat in a large skillet and cook shrimp and chicken in until cooked. Set aside.
- 4. Heat additional oil and saute onions, garlic and peppers until almost tender (roughly 5 minutes). Add about 1/2 of the chopped green onions and saute for about 1 minute. Add jerk seasoning to the sauteed vegetables.
- 5. Add half & half and coconut milk. Reduce heat slightly. Simmer until thickened (roughly 5 minutes).
- 6. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Add chicken and pasta to sauce and stir until well coated.
- 7. Add remaining green onions for garnish. Serve with coco bread and a mixed green salad for a wonderfully rounded meal.

[email protected]I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The sauce was too thin and the chicken was overcooked. I won't be making this again.

[email protected]The pasta was a bit too spicy for me, but other than that it was a great dish. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was tender. I would make it again, but with less pepper.
