- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the fusilli pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water for later, then drain the pasta and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced andouille sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes until browned and slightly crispy.
- Add chopped red and green bell peppers along with onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
- Stir in the Alfredo sauce, reserved pasta water, Cajun seasoning, and smoked paprika into the skillet. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the sautéed shrimp and drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until coated in the sauce, adding more reserved pasta water as needed.
- Transfer to serving plates and garnish with minced parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
