Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta:
   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle:
   • Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat for about 5-10 minutes.
3. Cook the Seafood and Sausage:
   • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the griddle. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
   • Place the shrimp, crawfish (or scallops), and andouille sausage slices on the griddle. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and the sausage is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the griddle and set aside.
4. Cook the Vegetables:
   • Add the remaining olive oil to the griddle.
   • Place the sliced bell peppers and onions on the griddle. Cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Make the Cajun Sauce:
   • Pour the heavy cream and chicken broth over the vegetables on the griddle. Stir to combine.
   • Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) over the sauce. Stir well.
   • Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Combine Everything:
   • Return the cooked shrimp, crawfish (or scallops), and andouille sausage to the griddle.
   • Add the cooked pasta to the griddle. Toss everything together to coat the pasta with the sauce.
   • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
7. Season and Serve:
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
