• Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain the pasta water and set the noodles aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet or a large pot over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper and Cajun spice.
• Once skillet is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook, stirring constantly until chicken is no longer pink. Scrape into a separate bowl and set aside. Keep the stove on.
• In a medium bowl, add shrimp, olive oil, cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to combine and coat the shrimp.

• Add the pasta and toss around to coat in the Alfredo. Toss in the steak, chicken and shrimp and stir to combine. Serve and enjoy!

CHICKEN AND SHRIMP CARBONARA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken with 1 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pan. Fry shrimp until red on the outside and white on the inside, 6 to 8 minutes. Place with the chicken.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
• Add bacon to the pan; cook until just crispy, not crunchy, about 6 minutes. Drain on 2 paper towels. Saute onion in the bacon grease until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• While onion is sauteeing, mix cream, Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and remaining Italian seasoning together in a bowl.
• Pour wine into the pan with the onions. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the creamy egg mixture and reduce heat. Simmer until sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken and shrimp; mix to coat. Serve on top of pasta.
