Spicy and creamy....a great combination! Homemade Alfredo is always best, but the Knorr® mix plus Parmesan is a quick easy alternative. Serve over angel hair pasta.

Cajun Shrimp Alfredo image

This is my version of Dave and Buster's Cajun Shrimp Alfredo. This goes together rather quickly and is so good. I would certainly serve this to company by doubling the recipe. Also, if you like spicy but not to spicy you can leave out the last addition of the Creole seasoning, or you can add more if you really like spicy.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined, without tails
2 tablespoons tony's creole seasoning
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 cup tomatoes, diced, I used fresh from the garden
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg yolk
1 cup onion, diced, divided
8 ounces linguine
1/2-1 tablespoon tony's creole seasoning

Steps:

  • Get all of your ingredients ready, tomatoes diced, onion diced and so forth because the recipe goes together fast once the shrimp is cooked.
  • Toss the shrimp in 1 tablespoon of the Creole Seasoning, set aside.
  • Fill a pan with water adding salt to season the pasta. When water boils add pasta and cook until al dente.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat a skillet with the olive oil and butter inside. Add the mushrooms and garlic powder when the butter has melted, cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, next add 1/2 cup of the onions and cook for another minute then add the shrimp. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink.
  • When the shrimp has cooked add the cream and the other addition of Creole Seasoning (the 1/2 to 1 T). Bring this to a simmer then turn the heat down to medium low.
  • Add the cheese, egg yolk, and the tomatoes. Heat until the sauce thickens. The heat needs to be low to keep the egg from curdling.
  • When the sauce has thickened add the other 1/2 cup of onions and the drained pasta. Toss unil the pasta is coated. Garnish with extra diced tomatoes and cheese if desired.

Time 20m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
1 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt-free Cajun seasoning
5 ounces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
½ teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon finely grated garlic
¼ cup unsalted chicken stock
⅛ teaspoon white pepper
1 pinch red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup light whipping cream (18%)
salt to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

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.
