Let’s break this down! Start cooking that fettuccine; no need to let it sit too long. While it’s bubbling away, get your skillet ready and melt that buttery goodness before you toss in your garlic—don’t forget to let it sizzle! Then, the heavy cream makes a royal entrance. As you stir in the Cajun seasoning, smell that flavor! Finally, fold in the seafood like it’s a tender hug, mix it all with the pasta, and season to perfection.
