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.

CAJUN SHRIMP
These zippy shrimp bring a lot of pizazz to the table. Use as much or as little cayenne pepper as you'd like, depending on your family's tastes. We love ours served alongside rice pilaf. -Donna Thomason, El Paso, Texas

Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp. For this recipe, it's best to use large or extra-large shrimp. They'll hold up better to the cooking process and have a more succulent texture.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a good quality fettuccine. The fettuccine is the backbone of this dish, so make sure to use a good quality pasta. Look for a brand that is made with durum wheat and has a slightly al dente texture.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spice level. This recipe calls for a moderate amount of cayenne pepper, but you can adjust it to your own taste. If you like things spicy, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder dish, use less.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The shrimp will be at its best and the fettuccine will be perfectly al dente.
Conclusion:
This cayenne shrimp fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is succulent and flavorful, the fettuccine is cooked to perfection, and the sauce is creamy and spicy. It's a dish that the whole family will enjoy.
