Cajun Chicken Shrimp Broccoli Alfredo Recipe 42

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Dredge the chicken breasts in the blackening spice and place in a cast iron skillet over very high heat. Blacken both sides of the chicken and place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Slice in strips on the bias and set aside.
• In a saute pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add garlic and lightly caramelize. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken slices. Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Add the heavy cream, increase the heat to a simmer, and reduce the cream sauce by half.
• When the cream sauce is to desired consistency, stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan, salt, pepper, and pasta.
• Nest the pasta on large rimmed plates, pour sauce over pasta, and garnish with scallions and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Slightly moisten shrimp/chicken with water. Shake chicken/shrimp and cajun seasoning in container until thoroughly coated. Cook pasta following directions. In large skillet, sautee in 2 tbsp butter, over medium heat, turning when necessary. When half-way done, combine heavy cream, 2 tbsp butter, and remaining seasonings in pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook broccoli according to directions. When cream mixture begins to bubble, lower heat and add cheese to taste. Combine cooked pasta, sauce, broccoli and chicken and toss.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Cook the garlic, sausage, and chicken until garlic starts to brown and the chicken is no longer pink.
• Sprinkle over the Cajun seasoning and stir to evenly coat the sausage and chicken.
• Add the cream, and bring to a boil.
• Add the pasta, stirring until evenly mixed.

Steps:

• For Emeril's Essence: Combine thoroughly all ingredients together. Makes 2/3 cup. Set aside. Six tablespoons needed for recipe, divided.
• Place the shrimp and 3 tablespoons Essence (I used less) in a large resealable plastic bag and shake. Place the bag in the refrigerator while you prepare the sauce. (To control some of the heat, use less than the 3 tablespoons specified. It can always be sprinkled on afterwards.).
• Heat a deep 3-quart skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the andouille sausage. Saute sausage for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add onions and saute for 2 minutes. Add crushed red pepper flakes (may want to use less) and garlic and cook 1 minute. Add Worcestershire sauce.
• In the meantime, cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions.
• To the skillet, add cream, milk, remaining 3 tablespoon Essence (or less), black pepper, chili powder and salt, if additional salt is needed. Stir to a consistent color. Add butter and stir until melted. Stir in Parmigiano cheese until melted. Lower heat to a simmer.
• Heat the remaining olive oil in another large skillet over high heat and add the shrimp. Saute shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until they just start to turn pink.
• Add the cooked and drained pasta to the first skillet with Alfredo. Stir to combine and blend flavors, about 1 minute. Place into a large pasta bowl and top with shrimp.
• Sprinkle with parsley.
