Preparation
Step 1
Boil linguine in salted water until al dente, then drain. (This can be done while you're making your cajun cream sauce.)
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
Add shallot, garlic, cajun seasonings. Stir for about one minute.
Add white wine, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add lemon juice, cook for one minute (stir a time or two).
Slowly stir in the heavy cream, then the half and half. Allow both to cook in for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn heat to low, and allow to thicken for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Grate in the parmesan, and mix in thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add cooked linguine, and toss to coat. Garnish with thinly diced green onion.
