Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain pasta and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken with Cajun seasoning, sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove chicken and let rest before slicing.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil if necessary, then add shrimp. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with chicken.
- Add sliced andouille sausage to the skillet, sauté for 2 minutes, then add bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook for an additional 4 minutes until veggies are tender.
- Reduce heat to medium and add heavy cream, stirring to mix with veggies. Let simmer 2-3 minutes to thicken. Gradually add Parmesan while stirring. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add chicken and shrimp back to skillet along with drained pasta. Toss gently to coat in sauce and heat through for 1-2 minutes. Add reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately, either plated or family-style.
