A flavorful and easy-to-make pasta dish featuring Cajun-seasoned shrimp and a creamy sauce.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water for extra flavor in the pasta.
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Cajun seasoning and garlic powder, stirring to combine.
Heating the spices in oil helps release their flavors.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the saucepan and cook until they soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Gently press the tomatoes with a spatula to help them break down faster.
Add the shrimp to the saucepan and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender.
Stir in the Alfredo sauce and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
Stir continuously to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Serve the sauce over the cooked pasta and enjoy.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
