Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 6 ounces fettuccini pasta
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped shallots
  • ⅔ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 (7-ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon drained capers

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the peeled shrimp with olive oil and Cajun seasoning. Toss until evenly coated and set aside to marinate.

2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccini pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Melt butter over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped shallots, cooking and stirring until tender. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.

4. In the same frying pan, add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until pink. Remove from pan and set aside.

5. Pour ⅔ cup chicken broth into the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce until only ¼ cup remains, about 2 to 3 minutes.

6. In a small bowl, mix sour cream and cornstarch. Stir in 1 cup chicken broth, then add this to the pan. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly, then simmer for 1 more minute.

7. Return the shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, roasted red bell peppers, and capers to the pan. Stir and heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

8. Serve the shrimp stroganoff over the cooked fettuccini and enjoy!

Notes

For a lower-carb version, substitute zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. You can swap the shrimp with chicken, salmon, or tofu depending on your preference. Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the Cajun seasoning. For a dairy-free alternative, replace the sour cream with coconut cream.
