🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 oz fettuccine or pasta of your choice
- 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and Cajun seasoning, cooking until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
5. Return the shrimp to the skillet. Add cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
