Cajun Shrimp & Sausage Pasta
What You'll Need
- 1/2 - 3/4 lb cooked fettuccine
- 2 TBS olive oil
- 1 lb peeled, deveined raw large shrimp
- 1 TBS plus 2 tsp Essence seasoning (recipe below - I think you can buy this, too.)
- 1 1/2 smoked turkey sausages, sliced and quartered (I use Butterball)
- 1/2 cup diced green pepper
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 TBS minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- Essence Creole Seasoning
- 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
How to Make It
- Heat 1 TBS of olive oil over medium high heat in a large saute pan. Season the shrimp with 2 teaspoons of the Essence. Place the shrimp in the pan and saute until almost done. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- Place the remaining TBS of olive oil in the saute pan and onions and bell peppers. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook another minute.
- Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken stock to the pan and scrape with a spoon to remove any browned bits that have formed in the bottom of the pan, about 30 seconds.
- Add the thyme, 1 TBS of Essence and 1/2 tsp salt and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream to the pan and cook an additional 2 minutes.
- Return the shrimp to the pan and pasta to the pan. Continue to cook the sauce and pasta, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the basil and Parmesan
