Ingredients

  • 1 lb 16/20 Tiger Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 8 oz Andouille Sausage – sliced
  • 1 Red Onion-rough chop
  • 8 oz Cherry Tomatoes – halves
  • 1 lb Penne Pasta-cooked al dente (use directions on package)
  • 2.5 cups Hiland Dairy Lactose Free Whole Milk
  • 1 lb Hiland Dairy Salted Butter – clarified
  • Salt, Pepper and Granulated Garilic
  • ½ cup Cajun seasoning – split
  • 2 tbsp. All Purpose Flour
  • Garnish with sliced fresh Thyme leaves

Directions

  • Clarify butter by bringing it to a boil and removing the milk fat from the top by skimming periodically. Once all of the milk fat is skimmed, allow the butter to cool. The remaining milk fat will drop to the bottom of the pot and the clarified butter can be poured away from it. Set aside.
  • Heat one tablespoon of the clarified butter in a skillet. Saute the andouille sausage until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Heat another tablespoon of the clarified butter in the same skillet. Add the shrimp and season them with Cajun seasoning. Saute until shrimp are just pink and remove quickly. About two minutes to cook. Remove to the same plate as the sausage and set aside.
  • Return skillet to the stove, heat another tablespoon of butter and saute the onion, peppers, and tomatoes. About two minutes. Season with salt, pepper and garlic. Add back in the shrimp and the sausage.
  • Sprinkle on 2 heaping tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Mix thoroughly. Pour in the lactose free milk. Once it comes to a boil the mixture will thicken and be creamy. Add in the pasta, salt, pepper and granulated garlic to taste. Serve with Thyme leaves for garnish.
