This is such a great and easy dinner recipe to make that only takes about 30 minutes to pull together. We really love the fact that you can change the heat level and “add ins” for this recipe!

The recipe that I’m sharing here is a combination of shrimp, alfredo, Cajun seasoning and pasta! However, you could change it up and add roasted chicken, andouille sausage instead of shrimp. This pasta is also fantastic with seamed broccoli!

You’ll notice in this recipe that I’m only using about 1 tablespoon of creole/cajun seasoning for the sauce and 1 teaspoon to the shrimp. I tend to tone down the seasonings at home because we have a toddler but you can totally add more! Just taste the sauce as you go.
