Cajun Alfredo Pasta
Ingredients:
- 2 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast - OR - 2 lb. shrimp (tailless, peeled & deveined)
- Tony's creole seasoning (to taste)
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup chopped green onions
- 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup (or more) heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tub Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- ?? linguine
Directions:
- Get all ingredients ready, because the recipe goes together quickly once the shrimp/chicken is cooked.
- Toss the shrimp/chicken in the creole seasoning and set aside.
- Fill a pan with water adding salt to season the pasta. When water boils, add water and cook until al dente.
- While pasta is cooking, heat a skillet with the olive oil and butter inside. Add the garlic powder when the butter has melted, cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of the onions and cook for another minute then add the shrimp/chicken. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink.
- When the shrimp has cooked add the cream and more creole seasoning. Bring this to a simmer then turn the heat down to medium low.
- Add the cheese, egg yolk, and the tomatoes. Heat until the sauce thickens. The heat needs to be low to keep the egg from curdling.
- When the sauce has thickened add the other 1/2 cup of onions and the drained pasta. Toss unil the pasta is coated. Garnish with extra diced tomatoes and cheese if desired.
