Cajun Shrimp Spaghetti with Cream Sauce




Source of Recipe


Elly


Recipe Introduction


Serves 2


List of Ingredients




4 oz. cooked spaghetti or pasta of your choice (I use whole wheat)
1 Tbsp. butter
1/2 lb. shrimp, peeled/deveined
4 oz. sliced mushrooms
1/2 small onion, diced
1 cup sliced bell peppers (I used yellow, green and red)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. flour
1/3 cup half and half
salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning to taste

Recipe




Heat the butter over medium heat in a skillet. Sprinkle the shrimp liberally with Cajun seasoning, and then saute in the pan for 1 minute per side (you are not cooking it through here). Remove with a slotted spoon.

To the skillet, add the onions, peppers, mushrooms and garlic. Saute until the vegetables are tender. Add the flour and stir it for a minute or two, to cook off its rawness. Add the half and half and stir, thickening. Put the shrimp back into the skillet to cook through. Season to taste with salt and pepper (and more Cajun seasoning, if desired). Toss with hot pasta and serve.
