Cajun Pasta Shrimp and Chicken

Ingredients :

8 ounces of uncooked fettuccine

2 chicken breasts cut into 1″ pieces

1/2 pound shrimp (I used 31/40 size) thawed & peeled

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 tablespoon + 1/2 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (use a low or no salt variety)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup heavy/whipping cream

4 ounces cream cheese (I used 1/2 block of Philly)

2 cloves garlic minced

1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Salt & pepper to taste

Directions :

Take the cream cheese out of the fridge 30+ minutes prior to starting the recipe (or microwave it for 20-30 seconds).

Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.

If the shrimp are frozen, thaw them under cool running water. Peel them (leave tails on if you want). Pat shrimp dry. Cut the chicken into 1″ pieces. Sprinkle the shrimp and chicken with the garlic powder and 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning.
