Cajun Sausage and Shrimp Alfredo Fettucini

Due to the volume of requests for my anniversary dinner choice tonight recipe I decided to just post it here on my blog... I'm making it in about 2 hours (although I've made it multiple times before) so I hope others try it out and enjoy it like me! I will be serving it with a side of garlic bread... So excited for dinner and for dessert, a spice cake with cream cheese frosting!

(Not my picture, but I wanted this posted this morning to make up for missing it Friday and I'm making this tonight so this online photo will have to do... hehe )
