This Creamy Cajun Shrimp Pasta Recipe is going to be your new favorite weeknight night meal! Made with homemade cajun seasoning, delicious shrimp, creamy sauce, and penne noodles, it comes together in a snap. Based on my Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta, which has been a huge hit, this one is even easier!

I love those little punks so much, but my goodness, it was tiiiiiiiiiiime for them to go back to school. My oldest kiddo was so apprehensive about it and really just sad about summer coming to a close and came home beaming because he had the best day with his friends. It made my heart so happy.

Time to get sassy, healthy Cajun Shrimp Pasta style! Whole wheat noodles tossed in a lightly spicy, creamy sauce, then loaded up with juicy sautéed shrimp and veggies, this slimmed-down recipe is ready in 30 and will have you dancing around your kitchen like you’re in downtown New Orleans.

When we were younger, my parents would take us to this all-American eatery on weekends when everyone was antsy to get out of the house. Crayons and tic-tac-toe for my sisters and me. Margaritas for mom and dad.

Instructions:

  1. First, Cook the pasta according to package instructions.  When finished, drain and rinse with cold water.  Set aside.
  2. Second, While the pasta is cooking, in a bowl combine the shrimp, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning.  Toss to coat.
  3. Next, In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, add the shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 7 minutes.  Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  4. Give the pan a quick cleaning and return to the stove top. Over medium heat, melt the butter.  Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.  Whisk in the flour.  Very slowly, whisk in the half and half.  You want to just whisk in a small bit at a time, so that you can create a roux. If you whisk in too much at a time you won't get a nice creamy sauce.
  5. Once you have whisked in all of the half and half, stir in the parmesan cheese, melting it to combine.  Then stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Stir in the pasta and return the shrimp to the pan.  Serve with diced tomatoes and fresh parsley!
