4. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley before serving.

Tips and Tricks:

• Feel free to adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your liking. If you like it spicier, add more!
• You can use any type of pasta you like. We recommend penne or linguine.
• If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp and sausage. Just add them to the skillet at the same time.
