Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.

Notes

To avoid overcooking the shrimp, remove them from heat as soon as they turn pink. Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste, adding smoked paprika for flavor.
