Cajun pasta be Poppin
So I seasoned the shrimp with the cajun season and cooked in butter… Browned the andouille sausage.
Seasoned chicken with cajun seasoning also and browned it. I used linguini pasta.
Add onion, bell pepper, and 1 tablespoon thyme; sautee in butter for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add red bell pepper, cook 3 minutes.
Add reserved 1/3 cup cooking liquid from pasta, salt, and tomatoes; bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until thickened.
Remove pan from heat; stir in shrimp/sausage/chicken and pasta.
Stir in heavy cream. Cook 1 minute over medium heat or until thoroughly heated.
Sprinkle with more thyme. Add cajun seasoning until you get the taste you want.
