How to Make Cajun Fettuccine Alfredo

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp, 1/2 pound of crawfish tails, and 1/2 pound of sliced andouille sausage to the skillet. Season generously with 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until shrimp turns pink (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and simmer until the sauce thickens to a smooth and creamy consistency (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add 1 pound of cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce.
  6. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions and serve immediately with warm French bread for dipping.
