Instructions
Season shrimp (1 lb) with 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (1 Tbsp) and white pepper (½ tsp). Massage with hand and set aside.
Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add Olive oil (1 Tbsp) and cook shrimp (1 lb) for 2 minutes on both sides. Set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, reduced heat down to medium and added butter (1 Tbsp), garlic ( to taste), and onions ( to taste) and sauté for a few minutes until fragrant.
Add chicken broth (1 cup), heavy cream (1 cup), 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (1 tsp), and Parmesan cheese (½–1 cup). Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan and get the bits of flavors off the pan. Keep stirring until cheese melts.
Add cooked pasta (1 ½ lb). Turn off the heat and stir until pasta is fully coated in the sauce. Let it sit in the stove uncovered for a few minutes. The sauce will thicken on its own.
Serve on a plate and top with the cooked Cajun shrimp and green onions ( to taste) (optional)
Notes
Notes
- I didn’t add salt because there’s salt in the Cajun seasoning, and the parmesan cheese is already salty.
- I added chicken broth to make the sauce light. I find using just heavy cream to be too heavy and thick
- Green onions are optional, but I prefer it over parsley.
