How to Make Blackened Shrimp Stroganoff

In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound peeled shrimp, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound pasta (your choice) and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup chopped shallot. Cook and stir until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add 2/3 cup chicken broth (or shrimp broth/white wine) to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth. Gradually whisk in 1 cup chicken broth until fully incorporated.
Pour the sour cream mixture into the skillet with the reduced chicken broth. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the cooked shrimp, mushroom mixture, 1 cup frozen peas, and 2 tablespoons capers. Heat through, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve the Blackened Shrimp Stroganoff immediately over the cooked pasta.
