SAVE this for your next pasta night 🤤👇 📝 INGREDIENTS — 2 generous servings • 8 oz fettuccine or any pasta on hand • ¾–1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined • 2 tsp Cajun seasoning, plus extra for vegetables • ½ tsp each smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder • Salt and black pepper, to taste • ½ red + ½ yellow bell pepper, sliced • ½ small onion, sliced • 3 garlic cloves, minced • 1 scant tbsp tomato paste • ¼ cup chicken stock • ¾ cup heavy cream • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan • 1 tbsp butter • A little oil for searing • Reserved pasta water, as needed • Parsley, chili flakes, and extra Parmesan to finish 👨‍🍳 RECIPE 1. Cook pasta just shy of al dente. Save some pasta water. 2. Pat shrimp dry. Season with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sear in a little oil until just cooked, then remove. 3. Add butter and sauté peppers and onions until softened. Add garlic and extra Cajun seasoning. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes. 4. Add chicken stock and scrape up the browned bits. Pour in heavy cream and gently simmer until slightly thickened. 5. Lower heat, stir in Parmesan, and toss in pasta. Add pasta water as needed until the sauce is glossy. 6. Return shrimp just long enough to warm through. Finish with parsley, chili flakes, and Parmesan.
