Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Chicken Pasta
Ever since I visited New Orleans and I love to try to recreate some of the foods I ate while there. I found this recipe on https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/ website. Of course I did add chicken to this pasta as well.
My husband really enjoys a good shrimp pasta dish. Since I don't eat shrimp, I just added some chicken to this recipe. And now, this recipe has made it onto my Dinner Menu rotation.
This recipe is creamy and spicy in all the right ways. I added some basil right out of my herb garden. If you like a good pasta dish this is the one. I thought about adding some andouille sausage into this recipe instead of chicken but, I didn't have any on hand.
I served this pasta dish with garlic bread. You could make it a whole meal by adding a salad as well. My husband doesn't eat salad but, he does eat garlic bread!

were is the chicken and when do you add it. do you cook it with the shrimp?
This recipe is one nearly identical to one I've been making for years - I was fortunate to have been given it by a chef at Louisianne's Restaurant, in Middleton, WI. It's with fettucine (though I adore linguine!), and it DOES contain andouille sausage. It also adds fairly coarsely diced/chopped onion. At the end, diced Roma tomatoes are sprinkled on the top,and then freshly-ground black pepper. It is AMAZING, as I'm sure yours, being so similar, is, too!!! Cajuns frequently do the multi-meat thing (chicken, shrimp, andouille, crayfish, even crab!). Love Cajun/Creole food!!! :) Thanks so much for posting!
