We only have 15 minutes to get this Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine on the table in front of the judges… eeerr… family. Ready? GO! Put a pot of water on to boil. While that’s going, pour heavy cream into large skillet. Cook over medium heat until just about boiling, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, and all ingredients above except for shrimp and pasta. Simmer for about 8 -10 minutes, or until thickened. Drop your pasta in boiling water and cook. Now that your sauce has thickened, stir in shrimp and warm those babies up!
Stir in both cheeses and allow them the get all ooey, gooey. Drain pasta. Plate it up and…. Serve!
