Cajun Pepper Shrimp in Garlic Butter Sauce over Pasta

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Fish and Shellfish

This is a recipe I came up with one night after trying to figure a way to use shrimp that I had left over from a party. I threw it together with some of the ingredients and fell in love with it.

"Tried this tonight after forgetting to stop at the store. Luckily I had some frozen shrimp and spaghetti noodles. :-) I used old bay instead of Cajun (because I didn't have it). It was amazing!! I'll be making this once a week now for sure. And next time I'll try it with Cajun!! Yummy" - Eirual15

If this is your first time experimenting with Cajun spice, do not add too much! You will burn your mouth. This stuff is spicy and it is very hot if you use too much. [I posted this recipe.]
