Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the shrimp with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove them from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.

Stir in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
