Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined, I use 31-40 count)
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (plus more for garnish)
  • 10 ounces penne pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2/3 cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instruction

  • Cook the pasta in salted water according to package directions.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until pink and opaque.
  • In small pot, combine the heavy cream, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes.
