Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (penne or fusilli recommended)
  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or green)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the pot along with the corn. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Add the shrimp to the mixture and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the pot and toss everything together until well coated.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, ensure all your ingredients are fresh.
  • Adjust Spiciness: If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning.
  • Cook Pasta Al Dente: Cook it just until al dente, as it will continue to cook when combined with the sauce.
  • Add More Vegetables: Toss in additional veggies like zucchini or spinach for extra nutrition.
  • Enhance Flavor: A splash of hot sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the flavor.
