How to Make Spicy Cajun Pasta With Shrimp
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1/4 cup dry white wine, 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, 1 cup chicken broth, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook your desired amount of pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Add 1 pound of frozen shrimp to the simmering sauce. Cook until pink and curled, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the reserved pasta water and add the drained cooked pasta to the skillet.
- Toss to coat. Heat through for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Optional: Add cooked chicken (about 1 cup, diced) in step 6 with the pasta.
