Ingredients
2 Trader Joe's Chicken Andouille Sausage, diced20 shrimp, cooked, peeled, deveined1 can diced tomatoes, drained1 cup bell pepper, assorted colors, diced1 cup mushrooms, any variety, diced.5 cup onion, diced2 oz. dry red wine (I like Shiraz for cooking).25 cup half and half1 tablespoon olive oil1 teaspoon garlic powder1/2 teaspoon onion powder1 tablespoon smoked paprikasalt and pepper to taste7 oz. cooked pasta (recipe calculated using Ronzoni Smart Taste Penne)
Start water to boil for pasta according to manufacturer directions.
While water is heating, clean and dice bell peppers, onions, mushrooms and sausage.
Heat tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a nonstick pan. When oil is shimmery or just begins to wisp, add sausage. The water should be boiling now, so add pasta and cook until just under al dente.
Stir sausage until mostly brown and add bell peppers, onion and mushroom. Cook until slightly golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn heat to high and deglaze pan with the wine, scraping up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. When wine is simmering, add tomatoes, garlic powder, paprika and onion powder. Turn heat to medium and cover for 5 minutes.
Pasta should be done and set aside to drain. Set heat on tomato mixture to medium high, add half and half, stir and let come back to simmer. Add pasta and continue to simmer, until sauce has become slightly thick, about 3 minutes. Toss in shrimp and let cook for 1 minute. The shrimp is already cooked, so you don't want to overcook it, you are basically just heating them through. Turn off heat and let sit 2 - 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if you like, though it is probably salty enough. Garnish with chopped parsley if you like. Enjoy!
Makes 4 1.5 cup servings (estimate).
