  • 16 oz Linguine pasta Cooked al dente
  • 1 lb Large shrimp Peeled and deveined
  • 14 oz Smoked beef sausage Sliced into rounds

  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning Divided use, low sodium preferred
  • 1.5 cups Heavy cream Room temperature
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Minced

Instructions
 

  • Boil a large pot of salted water and cook linguine pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced smoked beef sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  • Lower heat to medium and add diced bell peppers and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Return the cooked beef sausage and shrimp to the skillet. Add the cooked linguine and toss thoroughly until the pasta is fully coated in the spicy sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
