Ingredients

• 12 ounces linguine pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces andouille sausage
• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the andouille sausage slices and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and season with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Step 4

Add the bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage and shrimp to the skillet, along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pasta to heat through.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Voodoo Pasta!
