Instructions
- Cook the 1 pound fettuccine 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 ½ pound smoked andouille sausage on both sides until the exterior is browned and crispy. Remove from the pan, slice and set aside.
- Season the 1 pound raw large shrimp with the 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning in a mixing bowl. Toss to coat.
- Melt the 2 tablespoons salted 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 4 garlic cloves, cooking until fragrant and lightly colored, about 1-2 minutes.
- Lower the heat to low, and pour in the 2 cups heavy cream and 1 cup whole milk. Add the grated 1 ½ cups 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 Fresh parsley and more Cajun seasoning, if desired, and enjoy immediately.
