Method
- 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
Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste for desired spice level. For extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Can use frozen shrimp if thawed completely and patted dry. Not gluten-free as written, but can use gluten-free pasta. Pat shrimp dry before seasoning for better blackening. Use low-sodium broth to control salt level.
