Instructions

  1. Boil water for noodles.
  2. Cut veggies up. In a large pan or skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Once melted, add veggies, season them with 1/2 – 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 – 1 teaspoon onion powder, and let veggies sauté until tender-crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Prepare chicken: Cut boneless, skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken thoroughly with 1 teaspoon Old Bay, 1 teaspoon Tony’s Creole Seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1-1.5 tablespoons jerk seasoning.
  4. In the same pan, add a little more butter. Cook the seasoned chicken pieces until fully cooked through and slightly browned. Remove from pan and set aside.
  5. Prepare shrimp: Clean shrimp thoroughly. Season with 1 teaspoon Old Bay, 1 teaspoon Tony’s Creole Seasoning, and 1-1.5 tablespoons jerk seasoning.
  6. In the same pan (or another if needed), add a little butter. Cook the seasoned shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Do not overcook. Remove from pan and set aside.
  7. Add noodles into pot with boiled water.
  8. Now start the sauce. In the large pan, add 1/2 stick of butter with heavy whipping cream.
  9. Once butter has melted in the cream, add in your cheese, about a cup of shredded cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.
  10. After cheese melts in sauce, add 1-2 tablespoons jerk seasoning (depends on how spicy).
  11. Season your sauce with 1/2 – 1 teaspoon Old Bay and 1/2 – 1 teaspoon Tony’s Creole Seasoning. You may also add 1 teaspoon Complete Seasoning if desired. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  12. Lastly, put it all together: Add the sautéed veggies, cooked chicken, cooked shrimp, and drained brown rice penne to the sauce, tossing gently to combine everything thoroughly. Serve hot.
