Ingredients

Instructions

1. Toss the shrimp with the blackened seasoning and set aside.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and sear for 1 minute, then add the sausage and cook 1 more minute, turning to cook both sides. Set aside on a plate to cool slightly.
3. Return the pan to the heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook the onion, celery and bell pepper over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes, until browned and the onion is translucent.
4. Stir in the garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant.
5. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 2–3 minutes over medium heat to make a roux.
6. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a boil over medium-high heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
7. Turn off the heat. Stir in the tomatoes, salt, pepper, Parmesan, and the cooked shrimp and sausage until combined.
8. Boil the fresh fettuccine in salted water for 2 minutes, then add it in batches to the sauce with tongs.
9. Fold the pasta with a spatula until well coated. Garnish with more Parmesan and chopped parsley.
