Servings 4
Ingredients
- 4 cups Penne Pasta, salt to taste
- 10 -12 pcs Shrimp, medium with tail-off
- 2 Smoked Hot Sausage Links, I used Caroline
- ½ Lime
- ½ Cup Onion, chopped
- ½ Red Bell Pepper, chopped
- ½ Green Bell Pepper, chopped
- ½ tsp Adobo Powder
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- ½ tsp Onion Powder
- ⅛ tsp Black Pepper
- ⅛ tsp Paprika
- ⅛ tsp Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
- 5 tbsp Water
- 4 tbsp Grapeseed Oil or Vegetable
Instructions
- Step 1: Clean your shrimp with cold water and ½ a lime. This helps with the fishy smell and it makes your shrimp absorb a nice flavor.
- Step 2: Season your shrimp with adobo powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cajun seasoning, and paprika. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 - 20 minutes.
- Step 3: In a large nonstick skillet over medium- heat add your oil and onions. I stir fry the onions for about 2 - 3 minutes.
- Step 4: Mix 5 tbsp of water and tomato paste to the pan. Mix well for 1 minute on medium heat
- Step 5: Add in your shrimp and let it cook for 5 -6 minutes on medium-low heat. Turn it on both sides to cook evenly.
- Step 6: While your shrimp is cooking, lightly fry your sausage in another pan.
- Step 7: Add your sausage to the shrimp and mix in well. I leave it on low heat for 2 -3 minutes.
- Step 8: Add in your peppers and cook it for another 5 minutes on low heat.
