Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Seasoning
- 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Pasta
- 6 ounces fettuccini pasta
Vegetables and Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped shallots
- ⅔ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 (7-ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
- 1 tablespoon drained capers
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine peeled shrimp with olive oil and Cajun seasoning. Toss until evenly coated and set aside to marinate while preparing other ingredients.
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Melt butter over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped shallots, cook and stir until tender. Remove vegetables from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: In the same frying pan, add the seasoned shrimp. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until shrimp turn pink. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: Pour ⅔ cup chicken broth into the frying pan and bring to a boil. Cook uncovered until reduced to ¼ cup, about 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, mix sour cream and cornstarch in a small bowl, stir in 1 cup chicken broth, then add mixture to the reduced broth in the pan. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly, then let simmer for 1 minute.
- Combine Everything: Return cooked shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, roasted red bell peppers, and capers to the pan. Stir well and heat through. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the shrimp stroganoff over the cooked fettuccini for a creamy, spicy, and savory meal.
Notes
- Ensure the shrimp are peeled and deveined for the best texture.
- Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste for milder or spicier flavors.
- Use fresh mushrooms for optimal flavor and texture.
- The sauce thickens with cornstarch; stir continuously to avoid lumps.
- Adding roasted red peppers and capers adds depth and a slight tanginess to balance the creaminess.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
