How to Make Cajun Shrimp Crab With Alfredo Sauce

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion; sauté until softened and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes), being careful not to burn the garlic.
  2. Add the undrained can of Rotel to the saucepan and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. In a separate skillet, quickly sauté shrimp until they are almost cooked through (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove shrimp and set aside. This prevents watery sauce.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Gently stir in the cooked shrimp and crab meat.
  6. Season with Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook for 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt and create a creamy sauce.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss gently to coat.
  9. Serve immediately with garlic bread. Enjoy!
