CAJUN SHRIMP PASTA

Category: Pasta - Seafood

4 oz cooked pasta of your choice (I used fettucine)
1 tbsp butter
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled/deveined
4 oz sliced mushrooms
1/2 small onion, diced
1 cup sliced bell peppers (I used green and chocolate)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning to taste

Heat the butter over medium heat in a skillet. Sprinkle the shrimp liberally with Cajun seasoning, and then saute in the pan for 1 minute per side (you are not cooking it through here). Remove with a slotted spoon.

To the skillet, add the onions, peppers, mushrooms and garlic. Saute until the vegetables are tender. Add the flour and stir it for a minute or two, to cook off its rawness. Add the cream and stir until thick. Add the shrimp into the skillet to cook through. Season to taste with salt and pepper (and more Cajun seasoning, if desired). Toss with hot pasta and serve. Serves 2.
