Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 lb shrimp
  • 0.5 lb andouille sausage

Preparation

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions, then drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and sausage and cook until shrimp are pink and sausage is browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in Cajun seasoning.

For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sauce. You can also substitute shrimp with chicken or crawfish if desired.
