Cajun Shrimp Linguine image

From Cooking Light May 2016. Classic Cajun flavors-the smoky spicy seasoning, sweet shrimp; and onion, green bell pepper and celery trinity-give this pasta toss a New Orleans vibe. A jolt of ground red pepper spices things up nicely while creamy half and half smooths out the edges.

This was a great recipe. I used jumbo shrimp and they were cooked perfectly. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the linguine was cooked al dente. I will definitely be making this again.

I was skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a big fan of Cajun food, but I was pleasantly surprised. The sauce was mild and flavorful, and the shrimp were juicy and tender. I would definitely make this again.
