How to Make Cajun Shrimp Alfredo
- Prep your ingredients: Dice 1 cup of tomatoes and 1 cup of onion. Set aside.
- Season 1 pound of shrimp with 1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of pasta (fettuccine or linguine recommended) and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- While pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of the diced onion and cook for another minute. Add the seasoned shrimp.
- Cook shrimp for 3-5 minutes, or until pink and cooked through.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 tablespoon of Creole seasoning.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Add 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 large egg yolk, and the diced tomatoes.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes). Keep the heat low to prevent the egg from curdling.
- Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of diced onion and the drained pasta.
- Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
- Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and diced tomatoes, if desired. Serve immediately.
