Shrimp and Tasso Pasta Recipe

Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil. Stir the rotini into the boiling water. Cook uncovered stirring occasionally until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite about 8 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the tasso and cook until golden brown about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic onion green pepper green onion and celery. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent about 5 minutes. Add the basil thyme Cajun seasoning and hot sauce; cook 1 minute.

Pour in the cream and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Cook and stir until the sauce begins to thicken slightly about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and crawfish tails and cook until hot then toss with the rotini pasta. Sprinkle with parsley to serve.
