Description
Delicious Blackened Shrimp Stroganoff served over fettuccini pasta, featuring a creamy sauce with mushrooms and roasted red bell peppers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 6 ounces fettuccini pasta
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cups fresh mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon shallots (chopped)
- 1⅔ cups chicken broth (divided (⅔ cup + 1 cup))
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 jar (7 ounces) roasted red bell peppers (drained and chopped)
- 1 tablespoon capers (drained)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the peeled shrimp with olive oil and Cajun seasoning. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccini pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Melt butter over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped shallots, cooking and stirring until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same frying pan, add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Pour ⅔ cup chicken broth into the frying pan and bring to a boil. Let it cook uncovered until reduced to about ¼ cup, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix together sour cream and cornstarch until smooth. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of chicken broth, then add this mixture to the reduced broth in the pan. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly, then let it simmer for 1 more minute.
- Return the cooked shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, roasted red bell peppers, and capers to the pan. Stir well and heat everything through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the Blackened Shrimp Stroganoff over the cooked fettuccini.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad.
- Adjust the Cajun seasoning based on your spice preference.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
