Cajun Shrimp, Hot Sausage & Pasta
This is a hearty meal chucked full of noodles, hot Italian sausage, shrimp and a really delicious broth.
Adapted from Janet’s Appalachian Kitchen
Ingredients
Also 1# pasta, any type or shape.
Boil water in a large
pot over medium heat.
Cook pasta according to package
directions. Drain pasta and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the cooked shrimp with
the Cajun seasoning and set aside.
In a frying pan, cook the Hot Italian
Sausage links until almost done.
Remove the cooked sausage to a
cutting board and cut them into
1/2” pieces leaving the casing intact.
In a small pan cook the diced onion and
garlic in oil until tender and set aside.
Place the sausage back into the frying pan
and brown the cut ends. Put the sausage,
onion and garlic into a large deep pot.
I used Better Than Bouillon for my stock.
You can use bone broth or canned chicken
broth as well. Add the broth to the meat
and onion. Heat over medium heat until hot.
Grate fresh Parmesan Cheese and add
it to the pan stirring until melted.
Add the butter and heavy cream.
Continue to cook until hot.
Add the shrimp and the pasta to the
soup, mixing until combined. Let sit
for 10 minutes so the noodles absorb
some of the broth.
Ladle into individual serving
bowls and serve.

Enjoy! It is really hearty but good. If you have leftovers it is even better! Add more heat if you like it hot. My husband doesn’t like it as hot as I wanted to make it. He said the sausage was hot enough…lol
