Step 1

Start by sautéing your shrimp in the oil, along with the minced garlic. Add in the sausage, in small slices, and cook until the shrimp is cooked through. Pull out and set aside.

Step 2

Start a pot of water boiling for the pasta. Once it is boiling, add the fettuccine and cook for 9 minutes. In the meantime, put the heavy cream and chicken broth in a large, oven-friendly pan and bring to a simmer.

Step 3

Add in the parmesan and creole seasoning. Whisk until slightly thickened.

Step 4

Once thickened, add the cooked pasta, sausage, and shrimp. Stir together.

Step 5

Melt the butter and stir the bread crumbs into it. Sprinkle on top of the pasta. Bake the pasta at 350° F for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
