 #Cajun #Shrimp #Pasta

Ingredients

• 8 ounces linguine pasta
• 1 pound large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Lemon wedges for serving
• Parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of slightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
2. While the pasta is cooking, in a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil and cajun seasoning; toss to combine.
3. Heat a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook 3 to 5 minutes, flipping once, until opaque on each side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
4. Reduce the heat to medium and melt butter. Add garlic and allow it to brown for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and lemon zest. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until incorporated. Stir in the Parmesan and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in a few tablespoons of reserved pasta water if you want a thicker sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as desired.
5. Add the pasta to the pan with the sauce and stir to combine. Serve immediately topped with the shrimp, lemon wedges and parsley, for garnish.
