Ingredients
- ½ pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed
- 1 andouille sausage, about ½ pound, sliced into rounds
- 1 – 2 tablespoons cajun/creole spice mix, adjust to your spice/heat level
- Olive oil
- ½ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon cajun/creole spice mix
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 – 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped (1 large or 2 small)
- ½ cup crushed tomatoes
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¾ cup heavy cream, or ½ & ½ (I prefer heavy cream!!)
- 12 ounces fettuccine or farfalle (bowties)
- Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper
- Grated Parmesan and chopped parsley, for serving
Step By Step Instructions To Make Creamy Cajun Shrimp With Sausage Pasta
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. 1 or 2 tablespoons of cajun seasoning should be added to the shrimp before serving. Over medium-high heat, drizzle olive oil over the bottom of a large skillet.
Step 2
When the shrimp starts to curl, add them to the pan and cook for about two minutes. Remove shrimp to a plate and set aside for a minute or two before flipping over.
Step 3
Cook sausage until nicely caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes, in a pan with a little more olive oil. Place on a plate and set aside.
Step 4
Cook pasta until al dente in salted boiling water, one minute less than the package instructions.
Step 5
On medium heat, drizzle another good drizzle of olive oil into the pan. Add the onion, red bell pepper, thyme, smoked paprika, brown sugar, and a generous pinch of salt.
Step 6
Scrape up any browned bits when you can, then sauté onions and peppers until softened. About 30 seconds after adding the garlic, cook it until it becomes fragrant.
Step 7
Simmer for a couple of minutes while stirring and scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, and Worcestershire sauce.
Step 8
Stir in cream, bringing to a simmer. Stir cooked pasta and andouille sausage into simmering sauce and heat through, 2 – 3 minutes. If it seems dry or you want more sauce, add more chicken broth or cream (I added ¼ cup of each).
Step 9
Once the pasta is done, add salt and pepper to taste, and then top with blackened shrimp. Grate some Parmesan, sprinkle some black pepper, and sprinkle some chopped parsley on top. You’ll enjoy it!

Arthur Treacher Fish And Chips Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 kg fish of your choice (we used saltwater bream).
- 1 kg russet potatoes
- 2 green onions (sliced into 1cm long sticks)
- 1 cup flour
- Baking powder
- 2 eggs (beaten or melted butter)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry the fish, then cut it into 4-5 cm pieces. Put the strips in a plastic bag and chill them for about 30 minutes to make them waterproof. Brown paper bags work well for me.
- Prepare the potatoes by peeling them and cutting them into large cubes, about an inch each.
- In a bowl, place the potatoes, cover them with water, and add 2 tablespoons of baking powder. Let it soak for 15 minutes.
- In a large pot, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 140-150 C. Drain the potatoes and dry well between layers of paper towels.
- Add a few tablespoons of oil to a frying pan on high heat, and fry the potato cubes until golden brown.
- Fry the fish until golden brown, drain, and reheat in an oven around 10°C.
- Using the oil left over after cooking the potato, return it to high heat and add a tablespoon of flour once it starts to smoke.
- Continually stir and add the remaining flour.if you want your finished dish to be brown. It is a good idea to allow the flour to brown before adding the milk to your fish and chips recipe.
- Add about 1/2 cup milk once it's nicely browned. Make sure not to put too much milk. Stir until you have a nice thick gravy.
- Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the fish pieces and serve. If you want to kick the flavor even further, add more seasonings like paprika or cayenne pepper. Serve immediately with chips and garnish with green onions if desired. Enjoy!
