Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

angel hair pasta (I love angel hair..but you can use thicker)
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped purple onion, sweet
1/4 cup butter
1 lb frozen shrimp (small..61-70 per package)
1 tablespoon flour
garlic powder
black pepper
seasoning salt
creole seasoning
half-and-half (2 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Chop the peppers and onion kind of big, not too finely cause you want them to have oomph. Fry the peppers and onion in about 1/2 stick of butter till almost tender,it's okay if they have a little bite to em. Add the shrimp straight from the freezer and cook for about 5 minutes. (Note: I made this the other night and actually took the time to thaw the shrimp. This reduces the chance of thinning the sauce too much.).
  • Put the angel hair in boiling water at this point so it will be ready at the same time as your sauce.
  • Stir the spoonful of flour into the shrimp and add the half and half. Season to taste with the pepper, garlic, seasoned salt and creole seasoning. I like it with a nice heat. Let the sauce simmer gently for about five more minutes till thickened and Voila!
  • Make some garlic toast while the sauce is thickening. Dish up your angel hair and spoon the sauce over. OMG -- this is sooooo good!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. This will ensure that the shrimp are tender and flavorful.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Shrimp should be cooked until they are pink and opaque, but not overcooked. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a flavorful cajun seasoning. This will give the shrimp and pasta a delicious, spicy flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the vegetables. The vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Use a good quality pasta. This will help the dish come together and create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Pasta is best when it is served fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

This O'Charley's Cajun Shrimp Pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. It is also a great option for entertaining guests. The combination of shrimp, vegetables, and pasta is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
