Here are the three I found from my BIG database (40K recipes). If they 
don't work I can look through one of the smaller ones which may yield 
a couple more.

       Title: Awesome New Orleans Style Pasta - Carless Gay
  Categories: Cajun, Pasta, Poultry, Shellfish
       Yield: 4 Servings

     3/4 lb Penne pasta
       3    Chicken breast halves;
            Skinned, boned
       1 lb Peeled & deveined shrimp
       1    Peck fresh mushrooms; sliced
            Thick or quartered
       3 tb Butter for chicken cooking
       3 tb Butter for Alfredo sauce
   1 1/4 c  Whipping cream
     1/2 c  Fresh grated Parmesan
            Cheese
            Blackening seasoning
            Salt
     1/4 ts Cayenne pepper (or more)

   Developed this while trying to duplicate something we had in a
   restaurant, but this is better and has become one of our family's
   favorite meals.

   Saute chicken that has been seasoned with blackening seasoning while
   water heats up for pasta. Remove from pan and cut into bite sized
   pieces. Toss shrimp in more blackened seasoning. Saute mushrooms,
   covered, and add shrimp when mushrooms are done. Cook, uncovered
   until shrimp turns pink. Add chicken back in, toss and set aside.
   While pasta is cooking (al dente), heat butter in saucepan over
   medium heat. Add cream and cook for two minutes. Add Parmesan
   cheese, salt to taste and cayenne pepper. Cook for another two
   minutes, stirring constantly. Toss with drained pasta and meat.

   Serve immediately.
