Chicken/shrimp and sausage Alfredo

Ingredients

225g raw king prawns or 200g chicken thighs

1/2tsp chicken seasoning

1/2tsp cajun seasoning

1/2tsp onion powder

1/2tsp garlic granules

1/2 tsp mixed herbs

Salt & pepper to taste

2 sujuk sausages

240g tagliatelle or fettuccine

2 chicken stock cubes

2 tbsp unsalted butter

2 large garlic cloves (or 4 small ones)

560ml double cream (heavy whipping cream)

1/3 cup grated parmesan

Fresh parsley

Directions

• Wash and devein your prawns/ wash & cut your chicken

• Season with the seasonings mentioned above and let it sit in the seasoning whilst you prepare your other ingredients

• Cut your sausages diagonally

• Finely chop your garlic cloves

• In a pot add the water and bring to a boil, once its boiling add your chicken cubes and pasta and let the pasta cook as per packet instructions.

• Into a pan, that'll be big enough to fit your sauce and pasta heat up some oil over high heat. Just enough to cover the bottom of your pan

• Add your prawns and cook for 1 minute on each side

• If using chicken, add and leave untouched for 3 minutes, then cook for another few minutes on the other side

• After you've cooked them on both sides remove them from the pan and set them to the side

• Add your sausages into the same pan and heat them up. The sausages I use are already cooked hence why I only have to heat them up

• Remove from the pan and set to the side

• Lower the heat to medium heat and in the same pan add the butter and let it melt

• Once melted add the chopped garlic and cook for about 30 seconds

• Take 1/4 cup of liquid out of the pasta and add to the pan to deglaze the pan

• After it reduces add the cream and mix till everything is combined

• Bring the cream to a simmer and add the parmesan cheese and 1/2 tsp of cajun seasoning

• Mix until well combined

• Lower the heat to low and let the sauce cook for about 5 minutes. After the 5 minutes taste for seasoning. At this point, I usually add a bit of my mixed herbs, garlic seasoning and salt

• Add in your drained pasta and top with the prawns and sausage let this all cook together for about 2 minutes

• Sprinkle some more parmesan on top and fresh parsley

• Serve and enjoy!
