Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Chicken Pasta (Page 2 ) | April 30, 2025

Directions:

Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season shrimp and chicken with 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken pieces until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium-low, then add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream, milk, Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, smoked paprika, and the remaining Cajun seasoning. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked pasta, chicken, and shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly with the creamy Cajun sauce.
Adjust seasoning with salt and red pepper flakes, if desired.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
