The BEST Cajun Shrimp Pasta Recipe | Spicy, Creamy & So Simple!
This Simple Cajun Shrimp Pasta gets its bold flavor straight from Cajun butter, which infuses the shrimp, vegetables, and cream sauce with smoky, garlicky heat. Instead of piling on heavy spices, the Cajun butter does all the work, creating a balanced sauce that’s rich, slightly spicy, and full of depth. Paired with juicy shrimp, tender peppers, and a mix of fettuccine and spaghetti, it’s a comforting pasta dish with a Louisiana twist.
