Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Chicken, Shrimp, and Sausage Pasta.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, add the fettuccine and cook it until it’s al dente, which should take about 8 minutes.
Step 3
When the pasta is ready, drain it and transfer it to a spacious serving bowl, setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 4
Next, grab a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Add a generous pat of butter and let it melt, filling your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 6
Toss in the minced garlic and sauté it until it becomes fragrant, which won’t take long.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add some flavor! Stir in the sliced smoked sausage, diced tomatoes, vibrant broccoli florets, colorful chopped bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and chopped green onions.
Step 8
Cook this medley, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is beautifully browned and the vegetables are tender and inviting.
Step 9
Once your skillet is bursting with flavor, gently fold in the cubed cooked chicken and the peeled, deveined shrimp.
Step 10
Pour in a splash of white wine, sprinkle in some Cajun seasoning, and add a splash of milk for creaminess.
Step 11
Don’t forget to mix in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, which will add a lovely richness to the dish.
Step 12
Keep cooking, stirring gently, until the shrimp turn a gorgeous bright pink and are cooked through, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 13
Finally, serve this vibrant mixture over the fettuccine you prepared earlier.
Step 14
For the finishing touch, sprinkle fresh ground black pepper and the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 15
Enjoy your delicious creation, and savor the delightful blend of flavors in every bite!.
