RECIPE:

Ingredients

• (16 ounce) package uncooked rotini pasta
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil
• 1 pound of andouille sausage (can sub smoked ham), sliced 1/4in.
• 1.5 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 large onion chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning blend (I use NUNU's)
• 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 pound peeled shrimp (can sub with crawfish tails)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

• Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil. Stir the rotini into the boiling water. Cook uncovered, about 9 minutes. The pasta should be almost cooked. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Heat the cooking oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sausage, and cook until brown, about 5 - 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic, onion, green pepper, green onion, and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the basil, thyme, Cajun seasoning, and hot sauce; cook 1 minute.
• Pour in the cream, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Cook and stir until the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until hot, then toss with the rotini pasta and cover for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley to serve.
