Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Pat the shrimp dry and season with Cajun seasoning. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat, add shrimp, and sear for 1-2 minutes until pink. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter and sliced sausage. Cook until browned, then add diced onion, green, and red peppers. Sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften and release juices.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Add Gruyère cheese and smoked paprika, stirring until smooth.
- Add reserved fettuccine and seared shrimp to the skillet. Toss gently, adding reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat, season with additional Cajun seasoning, and toss with chopped parsley. Serve hot.
