Cajun Pasta

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 oz. andouille sausage ( i use chicken sausage)
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 large shallot, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun Creole seasoning
  • 8 oz, raw peeled shrimp or crawfish
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound linguini pasta, cooked and drained
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped green onion

Heat a large saute pan and add butter, then saute the andouille until lightly browned. Add garlic, shallot, jalapeno, and Cajun seasoning and saute for a minute or 2. Add shrimp and toss for one minute, then add cream and simmer until slightly thickened. Toss with pasta and green onion.

I got this from my friend Julie in a recipe exchange - sounds fabulous!
