How to Make Spicy Shrimp And Smoked Sausage Pasta
- Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add smoked sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and sausage from skillet and set aside.
- Add butter to the skillet and melt. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring until smooth. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in heavy cream, Cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add cooked pasta, shrimp, and sausage to the sauce. Toss to coat. Add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or green onions (optional).
