Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo
Cajun-seasoned shrimp is served over fettuccine and homemade Alfredo sauce in this quick weeknight dinner for one.
Lightly salted water should be added to a large pot and brought to a rolling boil.
Cook fettuccine at a boil for 7–8 minutes, or until it’s tender but still firm to the bite.
Drain the remaining water after reserving 1/4 cup of it for later.
In a small bowl, mix the flour and Cajun seasoning.
Dry off the shrimp, then add them to the bowl and toss to coat.
Over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil in a skillet.
When the butter begins to bubble, add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
Place the shrimp in a fresh bowl.
In the same skillet, add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds or so, until fragrant.
Scrape up any brown bits in the skillet with chicken broth.
