Finished product.
We start with a chicken breast covered in Cajun spice and brown mustard. One of the most delicious 3 ingredient meals. I usually grill it and eat it on a tortilla.
Cook that bad boy. 20-ish min on medium heat.
Slice that fucker and set him aside.
Throw a pair on andouille sausages into the same pan. The mixture of oils and fats is gonna do wonders for the sauce. At this point get some water boiling for the penne pasta.
I didn’t have time to make a sauce from scratch so I pulled some vodka sauce.
Hooked it up some some parsley, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne to taste. I like it hot!
Missed a pic. Throw the sliced chicken and sausage back into the pan and dump out the sauce and spices/herbs. Lower the heat to a simmer and let that bad boy hang out.
Tossed some shrimp in some Cajun spice
Throw the shrimp right into the pot and serve once they’re cooked through. Super easy and tasty!

Looks great! As a local Cajun, you'd need a better sausage type. Try a local butcher next time!

As a Slavic person I'm outraged by the idea of vodka sauce. Vodka ii for drinking.
QuartzBeer
That is not andouille. Andouille is smoked. That crap sausage is not.
BidetEnthusiast
Wanted to favorite, but the stupid bar is broken again. Commenting instead because this looks bomb!
zcon
Curious as to how n why the chicken is cut up. Also 20 mins? Doesnt it burn? I eat chicken everyday so its good to learn new ways to cook
ilvincbs
Chicken bakes in 20-30 minutes. It usually take 10 min. Max in the pan
Bluemagez
Haha! Your spices have betrayed you fellow Northeastener!
OobedoobScoobyDoobyBenubi
one major thing wrong with your pasta. I didn't get any. 0/10

A hell of a lot like TGI’s Cajun Shrimp & Chicken Pasta
DoopieSweat
Nice, didn’t know they had that. Any good?

Well la Dee daa Mr. "I can afford meat"
Jkally
lol. I know you're joking, but it really is pretty cheap whennnn you catch the sales. I got 4 leg quarters the other day for $4 in NOLA
Jkally
And so I bought 5 packets of them. Left one out to cook 4 meals with and through the others in the freezer. You can get 4-8 meals per pack

As a person of Italian ancestry I consider this an outrage, an abomination & an insult to my culinary heritage. (shall I bring the wine?)
billybobthorton1
Yeah i get that, considering how bland most Italian food is i get how making a pasta with actual flavor would upset your sensibilities.

Oh ok, there's your problem. Go to SETTINGS >>> IMA-DERP >>> AWARENESS >>> click ENABLE SARCASM. Hope this helps.

I feel like his response back at you was sarcasm as well
billybobthorton1
It was. I even thought to comment on my comment that it was sarcastic. But went "nah, he will get it". He didnt.

Why do you cook the chicken first and not the shrimp? And how do you tell when the shrimp is done cooking witb all that sauce?
DoopieSweat
That way the shrimp is a fresh as possible. Shrimp only takes a min or two so it’s quick, you can see them turn that nice pink color 1/2
DoopieSweat
Regardless of the sauce. It’s also really easy to overcook shrimp so you don’t want them on heat for longer than needed.
TheRicM
So...spicy af?
DoopieSweat
You can spice it to taste. The Cajun spice adds some kick but the cayenne is where you get most of the big heat from
TheRicM
I see. Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!

My fave: Cajun "alfredo". Chicken breast, sausage (andouille), a few cloves crushed garlic, in a pan till the chicken is no longer pink...
somnif
Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of cajun spice mix. I use "Cajun's Choice: Blackened seasoning". Mix to coat. Add a pint of cream, bring to simmer...
somnif
Add a generous cup of fresh grated Parmesan cheese and bit of minced fresh parsley. Stir and simmer ~10-15min to thicken...
somnif
Serve with a nice Penne pasta and a bit of spice mix to sprinkle on to personalize the heat. Quick and super tasty. Amounts of stuff:
somnif
2 chicken breasts, ~half pound of sausage, 3-4 cloves garlic. 1-2 tbsp spice mix, 1 pt heavy cream, 1 cup shredded parm, 2-3 tbsp parsley.

Looks good but did you really not have any fresh garlic and parsley?
Jkally
I prefer a container of minced garlic. It is just so much faster than mincing it yourself every time. The flavor tradeoff is no that substnl
DoopieSweat
I didn’t, huge oversight on my part. Those are staples I usually have on hand. Tasted great still but missed that freshness :/
iwasxyzzybeforeyouwereborn
OK, I'll let it go this time. (We don't keep the dried stuff around so we have no choice but to keep the fridge stocked.)
DoopieSweat
Smart!
shalmdi
I'm trying to use more fresh ingredients in my cooking. To replace the garlic powder, would you just mince a few cloves for this?
iwasxyzzybeforeyouwereborn
Yes, exactly. Some people like more; some like less. You'll quickly learn how much is right for you.
shalmdi
Thank you! I am still pretty new to cooking, so I appreciate the tip.
