Blackened Shrimp Alfredo Pasta

Blackened Shrimp Pasta is a rich and flavorful dish that combines the bold spices of blackened shrimp with creamy, cheesy pasta. Here’s a description of how the ingredients come together:

Tender shrimps are coated in a mix of blackened seasoning and a hint of lemon pepper for added zest, then seared to perfection in avocado oil, creating a smoky, slightly spicy crust. The shrimp is paired with colorful sautéed vegetables—diced green and red bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms—adding both sweetness and an earthy depth to the dish. Minced garlic enhances the flavor with its aromatic richness.

The sauce is a luxurious blend of melted butter, heavy cream, and garlic, forming a velvety base. Freshly grated Parmesan and gooey mozzarella cheese are stirred into the sauce, creating a luscious, creamy texture. The cooked bow tie pasta is tossed into this decadent sauce, coating every piece with cheesy goodness. The shrimp and vegetables are then added back in, making each bite a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The final dish is seasoned with salt and pepper, garnished with extra cheese or herbs if desired, and served hot. The creamy, cheesy pasta contrasts
