How to make Fettuccine Cadien

In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, bring the cream to a boil. Add the tasso, salt, peppers, and herbs, and let simmer for 8-10 minutes.
The cream sauce should be slightly thick. Remove from heat.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and drop in the pasta. Cook until just al dente; approximately 10 minutes. Drain the pasta.
Return the sauce to a simmer. Stir in the shrimp (or crawfish, scallops, oysters, et c.), green onions, and parsley, and cook until the shrimp turn pink (or until the oysters curl around the edges); approximately 3-4 minutes.
Drain the pasta and divide among bowls. Ladle the sauce over the pasta and toss. Serve with freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese. Serves 4-6.
