Published Feb 28, 2018 Updated Sep 09, 2024 Spicy and creamy are two of my favorite tastes in the world! I love everything with a bit of heat, from dry spices such as Cajun seasonings and fresh chilies. On a different spectrum, I love everything rich and creamy. Now, think of a pasta that is both spicy and creamy, with shrimp. Yes, this cajun shrimp pasta is what you need as dinner tonight.
Cajun Shrimp + Pasta
Imagine plump and juicy shrimp, marinated with loads of Cajun spices and then sauteed with olive oil and garlic, on a bed of light yet creamy pasta with whipping cream and Parmesan cheese. Are your mouth watering? I sure do. I can practically eat the entire skillet of this Cajun Shrimp Pasta myself! I love the perfect balance of this creamy Cajun shrimp pasta recipe. The penne pasta is cooked al dente; the shrimp are cajun-spiced; the cherry tomatoes and spinach lend a healthy note to the spicy pasta. It’s wholesome and crazy delicious, great for busy weeknights or special weekend dinner. It’s also very easy to make and family-friendly. If you don’t like shrimp, you can easily turn this into Cajun Chicken Pasta. And if you’re looking for more seafood pasta recipes, check out my Shrimp and Spinach Pasta!
