Helpful Tips
Use any pasta shape of your choice; the first time I made this recipe I used spaghetti pasta as that’s what I had at the moment and it worked excellently.
Adjust the seasonings to your taste, especially the Cajun seasoning adding or reducing the quantity depending on your liking.
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as soon as it turns pink on both sides remove the pan from the heat. This will make sure that the shrimp is nice and juicy.
