Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cook the fettuccine as directed on the pkg. Drain and rinse well and set aside.
• 2. Saute the bell pepper, onions and celery in the butter until the onions start to look clear. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or two (not too long or it will burn).
• 3. Add the half and half, the cajun seasoning, and the velveeta cheese. Simmer until cheese is melted. If you want the sauce thinner, add a little more half and half . Remove from heat and add the shrimp, the parsley and the fettuccine.
• 4. Transfer to a buttered or sprayed casserole dish and sprinkle parmesan cheese ovr top. Bake uncovered at 350 F for 20-30 minutes, or until bubbly.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water and drain the remaining water.
• Combine flour and Cajun seasoning in a small bowl. Pat shrimp dry and add to the bowl, tossing to coat.
• Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place shrimp into the skillet once the butter bubbles and cook for 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a clean bowl. Add garlic to the same skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any brown bits.
• Whisk in remaining flour-Cajun seasoning slowly until well incorporated. Season with white pepper and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in cream; cook for 2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese slowly, whisking constantly. Cook until sauce has thickened, 2 minutes more. Return shrimp to the skillet and add pasta; toss to combine.
• Mix in a little of the cooking water if the sauce is too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and season with salt, if necessary. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 4 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Saute shrimp for 1 minute on each side. Stir in garlic, and cook for 1 minute. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon; set aside. Stir in flour and Cajun seasoning. Cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, then cook until thickened. Remove from heat, and season with salt and lemon juice. Return shrimp to sauce, and spoon over cooked pasta.
