Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers and cook for 2 minutes. Add minced garlic, stir and cook for an additional minute or until vegetables have softened. Remove vegetables and set aside.
- Add one tablespoon butter and andouille sausage. Cook until the sausage is browned and the edges are slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Add the remaining butter to the same skillet. Add shrimp and Cajun seasoning, tossing to coat. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, prepare pasta. Boil pasta a few minutes shy of what the package directions suggest until still very al dente.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Add butter and flour whisking until combined. Slowly whisk milk and heavy cream and continue to whisk until smooth. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook milk mixture for 3-5 minutes or until it begins to thicken (do not let the milk boil).
- Whisk in cheese and stir until smooth. Carefully toss pasta with cheese sauce and cooked vegetables. Add in sausage and ½ of the shrimp.
- Pour mixture into a cast iron skillet or baking dish that is sprayed with cooking spray.
- Arrange remaining shrimp over the pasta.
- In a small bowl, combine crushed FitJoy (Grain Free) Sea Salt Pretzels and melted butter. Sprinkle mixture over pasta.
- Place pasta in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or just until cheese has set.
- Preheat broiler and broil pasta for 3 minutes or just until FitJoy (Grain Free) Sea Salt Pretzels mixture is golden, and cheese bubbles.
- Enjoy!
