CRISPY CAJUN SHRIMP FETTUCCINE

A Facebook friend of mine posted this recipe and I thought, "I could do that."  So I did but I modified it a bit.

I increased the cream from the initial recipe but feel free to use a dairy-free milk if you so desire.












CRISPY CAJUN SHRIMP FETTUCCINE INGREDIENTS:

8 oz fettuccine

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp butter

16 large shrimp

1 tbsp cajun spice

2 tbsp flour

1 cup chicken broth

1 1/2 cup heavy cream OR  Your favorite "NON-DAIRY" milk

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated OR vegan cheese

 

DIRECTIONS: Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Clean the shrimp and season with 1 tbsp of cajun spice. Drizzle the flour over the shrimp and toss in a bowl to make sure each shrimp is covered in flour. In a deep skillet add butter and olive oil and heat over high heat. Add shrimp and cook on each side about 2 min until crisp. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet add chicken broth and heavy cream. Season with additional cajun spice if preferred. Cook until sauce thickens a bit from the heavy cream, then add Parmesan cheese and whisk. Add fettuccine and shrimp to the sauce and toss. Serve warm. *Cajun Spice* 2 1/2 tbsp salt 1 tbsp dried oregano 1 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp red chili powder 1 tbsp ground black pepper *or you can use a cajun spice from store
