Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Chicken Pasta 🍤🍗🍝

 Step by Step:

 Cook the Pasta:

Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
 Prepare the Shrimp and Chicken:

Toss shrimp and chicken with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sear shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.
 Make the Creamy Sauce:

Lower the heat and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
Add Parmesan cheese, paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
 Combine and Toss:

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy sauce until well-coated.
Return the cooked shrimp and chicken to the skillet, mixing gently to combine.
 Serve and Garnish:

Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy immediately!
 TIPS:

 Adjust the spice level by adding more Cajun seasoning or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
 Swap heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
 Pair with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
