→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2.5 tsp Old Bay Spice Blend
02 -
1 lb Freshly Cooked Pasta
03 -
14 oz Unsweetened Coconut Milk or Regular Milk
04 -
1 lb Peeled Shrimp, defrosted
05 -
28 oz Crushed Tomato Cans
06 -
1 tbsp Olive Oil
07 -
1 tbsp Salted Butter
08 -
1 lb Smoked Sausage (choose Andouille, Chicken, or Kielbasa), cut into pieces
09 -
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
10 -
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Toss the minced garlic into a medium pan, then add crushed tomatoes, milk of your choice, and 2 teaspoons of the Old Bay blend. Let it bubble gently, then buzz it into a silky sauce using a blender or food processor.
02 -
Boil your pasta in salted water till it’s firm to the bite. Drain it and leave it aside.
03 -
Warm up butter and olive oil in a large, deep pan at medium heat. Pop in the shrimp, sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay to season. Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink. Move the shrimp to a plate for now.
04 -
Use the same pan to cook the sausage slices. Lean ones like turkey or chicken might need an extra splash of olive oil. Fry until both sides are golden brown.
05 -
Put the shrimp and pasta back in the pan with the sausage. Pour in half the sauce and stir everything so it’s well-coated. Keep adding as much sauce as you’d like to get your favorite texture.
06 -
If you like, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top before serving it up.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
If you prefer a kick, sprinkle in more Old Bay seasoning or a dash of cayenne.
