Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Follow the instructions on its packaging.
- Drain in a colander, drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Heat a high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the smoked sausage on both sides until the exterior is browned and crispy. Remove from the pan, slice and set aside.
- Season the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning. Toss to coat.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet that you cooked the sausage in over medium heat.
- When the butter bubbles, add the shrimp, and cook on both sides until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the size of the shrimp.
- Remove the shrimp from the skillet, and set aside.
- Add the garlic, cooking until fragrant and lightly colored, about 1-2 minutes.
- Lower the heat to low, and pour in the cream and milk. Add the grated parmesan cheese, and stir until smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Give the sauce a taste, and add extra salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Add the pasta to the sauce, and toss until coated.
- Serve the pasta in bowls, then top with the shrimp and sliced andouille sausage.
- Garnish with parsley and more Cajun seasoning, if desired, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- How to store: Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. Store the pasta and proteins separately. When reheating, prepare to add a little extra milk to the pasta sauce since it will coagulate in the fridge. Reheat in 30-second increments in the microwave.
