Cajun Shrimp Alfredo image

This recipe is a keeper! I absolutely loved it. I didn't have Cajun Seasoning, but I found a great recipe online (I've posted it separately). I didn't have Gruyere so I used what I had on hand, and it was still phenomenal. Recipe courtesy of Family Circle May 2010 and Rebekah Diehl-Shipper of Sterling, Ohio.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce didn't turn out as creamy as I would have liked.

I added some extra vegetables to this dish, like broccoli and zucchini. It made it even more delicious and healthy.

The cajun seasoning gives this dish a nice kick. It's not too spicy, but it definitely has a little heat.
