Cajun Shrimp and Andouille Alfredo Sauce over Pasta image

From Southern Living. You may substitute 3 cups chopped cooked chicken for the shrimp. This one is not a quick and easy recipe and very high in fat--so only for special occasions.

CREAMY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA WITH LOW-FAT ALFREDO SAUCE



Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta With Low-Fat Alfredo Sauce image

Two recipes from food.com combined into one. (Original version of the Cajun Chicken was delicious, but it was not low fat) Our children don't care for the sun-dried tomatoes, so I normally omit those, although they do add nice color to the dish.

CAJUN SHRIMP & CRAB WITH ALFREDO SAUCE



Cajun Shrimp & Crab With Alfredo Sauce image

My recipe fed four hungry Cajuns. Reminder: Shrimp tends to produce water while cooking. If you do not want a thin sauce, half way cook the shrimp in a separate pot. Then spoon them out into your sauce. If you do not like Shrimp or Crab you can always leave whichever one you do not like out of the recipe. You can also use this same recipe but with Crawfish or Chicken. I baked garlic bread to eat with my dish.
