Ingredients for Cajun Pasta

Gather these high-quality ingredients to create the ultimate Cajun Pasta:

  • 8 ounces of penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup of chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Season and Cook the Shrimp

In a small bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

3. Saute the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
