Instructions
 

  • Cook the Pasta – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

  • Make Cream Sauce – Pour in heavy cream and let it simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Combine Pasta and Shrimp – Remove skillet from heat. Add the cooked fettuccine and shrimp. Toss everything together until evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Serve Hot – Plate immediately, garnish with extra parsley or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

The spiciness depends on the sausage brand and Cajun seasoning used. For extra heat, add ⅓ tsp cayenne pepper.
Use fresh ingredients whenever possible for the best flavor.
Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture.
