Kick up the weeknight dinner routine with this easy (and cheesy!)

Cajun shrimp alfredo in a white bowl

Simply Recipes / Sharee Hill

Incredibly creamy and offering a mouthwatering Cajun kick, this just-spicy-enough pasta dish delivers major flavor with minimal effort.

We opted to keep it classic using fettuccine noodles, but any pasta shape will work great!

Drain and set aside.

Toss together the shrimp and Cajun seasoning in a medium bowl to coat.

Add the oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Tilt to coat the skillet.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until opaque, about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer the shrimp to a plate.

Add the chicken stock and stir to loosen the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, pepper, salt, and cayenne.

Cook, stirring often, until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the cooked, drained pasta and toss to coat.

Top with the shrimp and sprinkle with scallions.
