Ingredients
- 1 pound short pasta uncooked
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled, deveined, thawed if frozen
- 14 ounces smoked pork sausage
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 15 ounce can of diced tomatoes with juices
- 1 tablespoon of Brazilian sofrito or 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 heaping cup of diced onions 1 large onion
- 1 heaping cup of red bell pepper slices 1-2 bell peppers
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 5 green onions

Instructions
- First, cook your pasta until it's al dente according to package instructions. Drain it and set it aside.
- In the same pot, heat up the olive oil and add in the sausage. Cook over medium-high heat until golden brown.
- When the sausage is browned, add the onions, the whites of the green onion and the bell pepper. Don't add the garlic yet! Cook until softened.
- Then add the shrimp, and give it a couple of stirs until it goes from translucent to white-ish. It should start to firm up.
- To that, we add in the spices and garlic. Saute until fragrant and golden brown.
- When the garlic is golden, stir until incorporated with the other ingredients.
- Then, add in the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Let it cook a few short minutes at a simmering bubble.
- Finally, pour in the cream and the green onions. Stir them until incorporated.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
- Turn off the heat, then add in the cooked pasta and parsley. Stir gently to coat.
- Let it sit in the pan for a few minutes and stir occasionally so it gets creamier.
- Serve with fresh parsley and freshly grated Parmesan!
