Method
Marinate the Shrimp
- In a medium bowl, combine peeled shrimp with olive oil and Cajun seasoning, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the shrimp marinate for about 10 minutes.
Cook the Pasta
- In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccini and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables
- In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and shallots, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until tender.
Cook the Shrimp
- Add the marinated shrimp to the same pan over medium-high heat. Cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Prepare the Sauce
- Pour chicken broth into the pan, bring to a boil, and simmer until reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
Thicken the Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream and cornstarch until smooth. Stir into the reduced broth and cook until thickened.
Combine and Season
- Return sautéed shrimp and vegetables to the pan. Stir in roasted bell peppers and capers, heating through while seasoning to preference.
Serve and Enjoy
- Plate the cooked fettuccini, then ladle the creamy mixture over the top. Garnish as desired.
