Description
A delicious Cajun shrimp pasta dish that combines spicy shrimp, fragrant vegetables, and creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz linguine pasta
- 2 12 oz cans Palmini linguine
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound raw shrimp
- 1 tablespoon Cajun Seasoning
- 4 oz andouille sausage
- 1/2 cup chopped red peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped green peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow or white onions
- 1 cup fire roasted diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Reggiano Cheese
Instructions
- Follow the instructions on the packaging for how to cook the pasta.
- Rinse the noodles. The packaging states you can boil the noodles to get them softer or you can use them immediately after rinsing. I like to boil the noodles.
- Place the shrimp in a bowl along with 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun or Creole Seasoning. Mix to ensure the shrimp is fully coated.
- Heat a skillet or pan on medium high heat. I use a cast iron skillet. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan.
- When hot, add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until it turns bright pink. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- Add an additional teaspoon of olive oil to the pan along with the chopped sausage, onions, green peppers, and red peppers.
- Saute for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent and fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce the heat on the pan to medium. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt.
- Add in the heavy cream, almond milk, cream cheese, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun or Creole Seasoning, and Parmesan Reggiano Cheese.
- Continue to stir the sauce until all of the cheese has fully melted. The cream cheese may take some time to melt. Add in the fire roasted tomatoes and stir. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp, sausage, vegetables, and pasta to the pan and stir. Allow the pasta to cook for 4-5 minutes until combined.
- Serve.
Notes
- You can adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of Cajun Seasoning used.
- This dish pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread.
