Ingredients
- 1/2 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined (you can either remove the tails or leave them on for a more elegant presentation)
- 3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided use
- 2 inch links of Aidells® Cajun Style Andouille Sausage cut into 1/2 thick rounds
- 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning or more to taste
- 1 small red onion thinly sliced
- 2 cups of thinly sliced bell peppers (I used red, yellow, and green)
- 10 ounces linguine pasta other long pasta varieties will also work
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add the pasta and cook according to package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and peppers and cook for 4-6 minutes or until softened. Season with 1 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the peppers and onions from the pan and place on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken to the pan and season with salt, pepper and remaining teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until cooked through.
- Add the sausage to the pan and cook an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Add the reserved bell peppers and onions to the pan and stir to combine.
- Drain the pasta and return to the pot it cooked in. Turn the heat on medium high and add the cream along with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until sauce has started to thicken.
- Place the meat and vegetable mixture on top of the pasta and sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
