Ingredients
For the Cajun Shrimp:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled & deveined
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper, to taste
For the Alfredo Sauce:

Salt & pepper, to taste
For the Pasta:
12 oz fettuccine pasta
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Cajun Shrimp
In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and slightly crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add Parmesan cheese and Cajun seasoning. Stir until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine Everything
Add cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat with the creamy sauce.
Place the cooked shrimp on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve & Enjoy!
Plate up this indulgent dish and dig in! A sprinkle of extra Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon will take it to the next level.
