Cooking Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the thawed shrimp, olive oil, and Cajun seasoning. Toss until shrimp are evenly coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until tender. Set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add marinated shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  5. Pour chicken broth into skillet and bring to a boil, reducing to about ¼ cup in 3-4 minutes. Mix sour cream and cornstarch with a cup of broth and stir back into the pan, cooking until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return cooked shrimp, sautéed vegetables, roasted red bell peppers, and capers to the pan. Stir to combine and heat through for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve the Blackened Shrimp Stroganoff mixture over fettuccini, tossing gently to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

Allow the shrimp to marinate for at least 15 minutes to ensure deep flavor. Cook shrimp until just pink and opaque to avoid toughness. Always cook fettuccini al dente for best texture.
