This collection of Shrimp Pasta Recipes includes plenty of easy weeknight dinners the whole family will love! We love this easy Cajun pasta:
Ingredients
- 8oz penne pasta
- 12oz andouille sausage
- 8oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8oz boneless skinless thigh or breast, cut into 1 inch chunks
- 3 tbsp Creole seasoning, divided
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3-4 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 14oz can diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp Louisiana hot sauce
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Divide 1 tsp of the Creole seasoning between the shrimp and chicken so they can marinate for a few minutes while you’re prepping the other ingredients.
- Cook pasta to your preferred doneness, according to the directions on the package.
- Heat oil in a pot (or very large skillet) over medium high heat. Sear shrimp 1-2 minutes per side, then remove to a plate.
- Add chicken and sausage. Brown 5-6 minutes.
- Push the meats to the edge of the pan, then add in the onion, peppers and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes, until they veggies start to soften.
- Add tomatoes, chicken broth, hot sauce and remaining Creole seasoning. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the cream and shredded parmesan cheese. One the cheese melts and the sauce is a uniform consistency, stir back in the shrimp along with the cooked pasta.
