A rich and flavorful Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Pasta made with tender shrimp, smoky Andouille sausage, and fettuccine tossed in a creamy, spiced sauce. Perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz Andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced (mixed colors)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and diced bell peppers for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook for about 5 minutes, until browned.
  4. Stir in the shrimp and minced garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and add the Cajun seasoning. Stir well and let simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to combine evenly with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then top with grated Parmesan before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust Cajun seasoning to control the spice level.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for a lighter sauce, though it will be less rich.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce.
