Preparation
For the Cajun seasoning:
Place ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Store in an airtight container.
For the Cajun shrimp and chorizo pasta:
In a large skillet, cook chorizo over medium high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove from the skillet once cooked through. This should only take a couple of minutes.
Lower the heat to medium and melt butter together with the olive oil. Stir in peppers, mushrooms, onion, and 1 tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in shrimp and cook until firm and pink, about 3 – 5 minutes. Add half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and chorizo. Bring to a simmer, to thicken. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Season with another 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning and salt, to taste. Toss with pasta and serve. We loved the leftovers. Enjoy!
