1 pkg fettuccine pasta (16oz)
1 c diced onions
1/2 c diced green bell pepper
1/2 c diced celery
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp cajun seaoning (i like paul prudhomme's seafood magic).
2 lb peeled shrimp
1 c half and half
1 lb velveeta mexican style cheese, cubed
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1/2 stick butter

Steps:

1. Cook the fettuccine as directed on the pkg. Drain and rinse well and set aside.
2. Saute the bell pepper, onions and celery in the butter until the onions start to look clear. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or two (not too long or it will burn).
3. Add the half and half, the cajun seasoning, and the velveeta cheese. Simmer until cheese is melted. If you want the sauce thinner, add a little more half and half . Remove from heat and add the shrimp, the parsley and the fettuccine.
4. Transfer to a buttered or sprayed casserole dish and sprinkle parmesan cheese ovr top. Bake uncovered at 350 F for 20-30 minutes, or until bubbly.
