How to Make Fiery Cajun Shrimp Alfredo Can Sub Chicken
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in heavy cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese, Cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- If using shrimp, add shrimp to the sauce and cook until pink and opaque (about 3-5 minutes). If using chicken, add chicken and cook until cooked through (about 10-12 minutes).
- Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water if needed to thin the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
