Creamy Cajun Shrimp Pasta with Sausage
  1. Prepare the Shrimp:

    • Season the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    • Sauté the shrimp until pink and slightly browned (about 2–3 minutes per side). Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. Cook the Sausage:

    • In the same skillet, add another tbsp of olive oil and sauté the sliced sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.

  3. Sauté the Veggies:

    • Add the onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Cook until softened and fragrant (about 5 minutes).

  4. Make the Sauce:

    • Stir in crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until smooth. Adjust seasoning with more Cajun spice, salt, or pepper as needed.

  5. Combine Everything:

    • While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and toss it into the skillet with the sauce.

    • Add the cooked shrimp and sausage back to the pan and mix well. Allow everything to heat through for 2–3 minutes.

  6. Serve:

    • Garnish with additional Parmesan or fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, spicy pasta dish!
