Method (preview)

1. 1

   Pour the cream into a large heavy skillet and place over medium heat.

2. 2

   Stir the cream when it begins to rise to keep it from overflowing; when it comes to a boil, add the tasso, salt, peppers and herbs and let simmer for 8-10 minutes.

3. 3

   You can prepare the sauce ahead to this point.

4. 4

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and drop in the pasta.

5. 5

   Cook until just al dente.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, return the sauce to a simmer, stir in the shrimp (or oysters, scallops, crawfish, etc.), green onions and parsley and cook until the shrimp turn pink (or until the oysters curl around the edges), about 3-4 minutes.

7. 7

   Drain the pasta and divide among bowls.

8. 8

   Ladle the sauce over and toss; serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
