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
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.

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.

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 & CRAB WITH ALFREDO SAUCE
My recipe fed four hungry Cajuns. Reminder: Shrimp tends to produce water while cooking. If you do not want a thin sauce, half way cook the shrimp in a separate pot. Then spoon them out into your sauce. If you do not like Shrimp or Crab you can always leave whichever one you do not like out of the recipe. You can also use this same recipe but with Crawfish or Chicken. I baked garlic bread to eat with my dish.

Steps:
- In your main saucepan, sauté garlic and 1/2 yellow onion with butter do not burn. Cook until onions become transparent.
- In a separate pot, cook down your can of Rotel until soft. Then add to main saucepan.
- Stir in whipping cream, reduce heat to low and continue stirring about 2 minutes.
- Add Shrimp & Crab. Cook till shellfish is done.
- Season to your liking. I used Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning and salt & pepper.
- Add Parmesan cheese, stirring after about 1 minute. Stir in your cooked noodles. Mix all together.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp.
- If you don't have Cajun seasoning, you can make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. They will become tough and rubbery if they are cooked for too long.
- Serve the shrimp alfredo immediately over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
- Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
This creamy Cajun shrimp alfredo is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great dish to serve for a special occasion. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the shrimp are cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
