Pasta

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Preparing the Cajun Shrimp and Sauce

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

  2. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add diced onion and chopped shishito peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

  3. 4

    Cook the Sausage

    Add the sliced andouille sausage to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until browned.

  4. 5

    Add Shrimp and Seasoning

    Toss in the shrimp and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook until shrimp turn pink, about 3-5 minutes.

  5. 6

    Add Corn and Tomatoes

    Stir in the corn and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. 7

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the white wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

  7. 8

    Finish the Sauce

    Add butter to the skillet and stir until melted and combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combining Pasta and Sauce

  1. 9

    Toss Pasta

    Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce. Mix in the crispy bacon and chopped parsley for garnish.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
