  1. I made this tonight for dinner. I also added diced red peppers like PSU Lioness and some chopped onions. I didn't have fettucine so I used bow-tie pasta instead which did a good job of holding the sauce. For those who are sensitive to hot spices just use 1 teaspoon of Cajun spice instead of two. I served this with French bread. Very delicious.
     
  2. Sounds super! I'll make my own Alfredo Sauce though.
     
  3. This recipe is delicious. Only used 1 TSP of Cajun seasoning, so not too spicy for the kid. I served the dish with spaghetti noodles. Yummy.
     
  4. This recipe was amazing! I had shrimp in the freezer forever and wasn't sure how I was ever going to use them, then I came upon this recipe. It was instantly a family favorite.
     
  5. I tried this dish last night. It was hit with the family. I however, had Kroger steam the shrimp for me in cajun seasonings. I also used diced tomato in the can with chiles. A little kick but this will become a regular in my househould.

Tweaks

  1. For the Tomato I used a can of rotele Tomatos with green chile and also added mushrooms
     
  2. My own Alfredo Sauce.
     
  3. Wow! Delicious! I agree that this is not for the faint of heart because of the spices, but I expected it when I saw "Bourbon Street" in the title. The only think I changed is that I used penne pasta instead of fettucine and I diced some red peppers and added them to get some veggies in there. I thought it was fabulous. I will be making it again.

Hi I am a new mom. I have a 10 week old Daughter named Annabelle who is the love of my life right after my husband Darin who is in the USAF. I have no formal training but I was a cook at the officer's club on base for over a year and I learned a lot and loved it. My favorite cookbook is the joy of cooking. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
