Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  4. Add andouille sausage slices to the pan and brown on both sides. Remove and reserve.
  5. Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter to the pan and sauté diced onions and bell peppers for 4 minutes until softened.
  6. Stir in minced garlic, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Add tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine. Pour in Worcestershire sauce and chicken broth, bring to a gentle simmer.
  8. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
  9. Return cooked linguine, sausage, chicken, and shrimp to the pan. Toss thoroughly to coat in sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
