Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the remaining water.
- Combine flour and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Pat shrimp dry and add to the bowl, tossing to coat.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp into the skillet once the butter bubbles and cook for 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a clean bowl. Add garlic to the same skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any brown bits.
- Whisk in remaining flour-Cajun seasoning slowly until well incorporated. Season with white pepper and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in cream; cook for 2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese slowly, whisking constantly. Cook until sauce has thickened, 2 minutes more. Return shrimp to the skillet and add pasta; toss to combine.
- Mix in a little of the cooking water if the sauce is too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, organic vegetables and premium seafood will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken and shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming tough.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven for making the sauce. This will help to prevent the sauce from scorching.
- Don't boil the sauce. Simmer it gently over low heat until it has thickened to the desired consistency.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for extra flavor.
- Serve the fettuccine Alfredo with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
