This is the CAJUN SHRIMP PASTA that I make it comes pretty close to Red Lobster's recipe
boneless skinless chicken strips oil 1/2 tsp plus 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, divided use 1 pint heavy (whipping) cream 1 stick (1/2 cup) real butter 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened 1/2 to 3/4 cup parmesan cheese 1 tsp garlic powder chopped scallions (optional garnish)
Buy boneless skinless chicken strips, brown in a little oil, add about 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (available at your local market) and saute until thoroughly cooked, no pink.
While chicken is cooking you can prepare the Alfredo sauce: In a sauce pan combine heavy cream and butter; mix well. Then add the cream cheese make sure it is softened it makes it easier to work with, do this on medium to low heat. Stir in the parmesan and garlic powder. Simmer and mix while cooking, the longer you simmer the better it taste about 20 minutes or so, make sure you check this it can burn with all the cheese!!
Once this is cooked add your chicken and the remaining 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, if you like it really spicy you add more Cajun seasoning to taste. You can top this with chopped scallions to add color.
Try this and let me know how you like it!! Enjoy!
