FIERY CAJUN SHRIMP ALFREDO (CAN SUB CHICKEN)



Fiery Cajun Shrimp Alfredo (Can Sub Chicken) image

A winning recipe from Emeril Lagasse's Hot and Spicy Contest. If you like things less spicy, hold back on the cayenne, but the alfredo is meant to temper the heat. I prefer a less salty spice mix, too. Cutting back on the butter or full cream won't work; it changes the dish too drastically and makes it watery. Not diet food and probably not something you'd eat everyday, but would like to. Great for a Mardi Gras party. Just as good using chicken. (I've given warnings all along the way where to cut back on the heat and salt. Oh, okay so I made it not so fiery.)

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 1/2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined (can sub chicken strips)
6 tablespoons Emeril's Original Essence, recipe follows
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces andouille sausages, chopped
1/2 medium onion, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (or less)
5 garlic cloves, minced
3 shakes Worcestershire sauce
1 lb linguine
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot chili powder (can use mild)
kosher salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, sliced
1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (canned will seize the sauce)
chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt (I use less)
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (or less)
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • For Emeril's Essence: Combine thoroughly all ingredients together. Makes 2/3 cup. Set aside. Six tablespoons needed for recipe, divided.
  • Place the shrimp and 3 tablespoons Essence (I used less) in a large resealable plastic bag and shake. Place the bag in the refrigerator while you prepare the sauce. (To control some of the heat, use less than the 3 tablespoons specified. It can always be sprinkled on afterwards.).
  • Heat a deep 3-quart skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the andouille sausage. Saute sausage for 2 minutes, stirring often. Add onions and saute for 2 minutes. Add crushed red pepper flakes (may want to use less) and garlic and cook 1 minute. Add Worcestershire sauce.
  • In the meantime, cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to package instructions.
  • To the skillet, add cream, milk, remaining 3 tablespoon Essence (or less), black pepper, chili powder and salt, if additional salt is needed. Stir to a consistent color. Add butter and stir until melted. Stir in Parmigiano cheese until melted. Lower heat to a simmer.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in another large skillet over high heat and add the shrimp. Saute shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until they just start to turn pink.
  • Add the cooked and drained pasta to the first skillet with Alfredo. Stir to combine and blend flavors, about 1 minute. Place into a large pasta bowl and top with shrimp.
  • Sprinkle with parsley.
