Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.
Season shrimp and chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high. Cook chicken until browned and done, then remove.
Sear shrimp in the same pan for 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook sliced sausage until browned. Add bell peppers and onion, sauté until tender. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Reduce heat and pour in heavy cream. Scrape the bottom of the pan and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted and sauce thickens.
Return chicken, shrimp, and pasta to the skillet. Toss everything to coat in the sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to thin.
Simmer for 2–3 minutes more. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
