Ingredients

  • 1 pound cavatappi pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 12.8-ounce package smoked andouille sausage, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning, divided
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth, or more, as needed
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup corn kernels, frozen, canned or roasted
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage, and cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes; set aside and drain excess fat.
  • Season shrimp with 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning. Add shrimp to the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
  • Melt butter in the skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, thyme and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning. Cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more vegetable broth as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Stir in pasta, sausage, shrimp and corn, and gently toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
