Ingredients
Scale
8 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup bell peppers (red, green, yellow), sliced
1/2 cup diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onions and sauté them until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add sliced bell peppers and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Then pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Simmer again until it thickens. Add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency if needed.
Return the shrimp to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Plate the dish and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for an artistic flair.
