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 peeled shrimp with olive oil and Cajun seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate.

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

3. In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped shallots. Cook, stirring, until tender. Remove from pan and set aside.

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

5. Pour ⅔ cup chicken broth into the pan and bring to a boil. Cook uncovered until reduced to ¼ cup, about 2–3 minutes.

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

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

8. Serve over cooked fettuccini and enjoy.
