Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine shrimp with olive oil and Cajun seasoning, ensuring each shrimp is evenly coated. Let marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
- In a frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots, cooking for 4–5 minutes until tender. Remove from pan.
- In the same pan, increase heat slightly and add marinated shrimp. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp.
- Pour in chicken broth, scraping up bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil and reduce to about ¼ cup, around 3-4 minutes.
- Whisk together sour cream and cornstarch until smooth. Slowly add reduced broth, stirring continuously. Pour back into the pan and simmer for 3-4 minutes until thick.
- Return shrimp, sautéed vegetables, roasted red bell peppers, and capers to the pan. Toss everything together, season with salt and pepper, and serve over fettuccini.
