Of course! Cajun Shrimp Pasta with Sausage is a restaurant-quality dish that’s incredibly flavorful and comes together in one pan (plus the pot for pasta) in about 30 minutes. It’s creamy, spicy, and packed with smoky sausage and tender shrimp.
Here’s a foolproof recipe that delivers maximum flavor.
The Key to Flavor: The Cajun Seasoning
While you can use a pre-made blend like Tony Chachere’s or Slap Ya Mama, making your own allows you to control the salt and heat. This is a great base recipe:
Homemade Cajun Seasoning (makes about 3 tbsp):
· 2 teaspoons paprika (smoked paprika is excellent here)
· 1 teaspoon garlic powder
· 1 teaspoon onion powder
· 1 teaspoon dried oregano
· ½ teaspoon dried thyme
· ½ teaspoon black pepper
· ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
· ¼ teaspoon salt (optional, if your sausage is very salty)
