Instructions

Cook the Shrimp

1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
2. Generously season the shrimp with CRAVE Cajun Seasoning.
3. Heat 3 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
4. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Be careful not to overcook.
5. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Make the Creamy Cajun Sauce

6. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the same pan.
7. Add the diced scallions and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes.
8. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant.
9. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil.
10. Reduce the heat to a simmer.
11. Add 1 tablespoon CRAVE Cajun Seasoning, 1 tablespoon CRAVE Italian Seasoning, and about 5 shakes of hot sauce.
12. Stir and allow the sauce to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
13. About 10 minutes into the simmer, add the Parmesan cheese.
14. Stir until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Cook the Pasta

15. While the sauce is simmering, cook the bow tie pasta according to the package directions until al dente.
16. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Bring It All Together

17. Once the sauce has finished simmering, return the cooked shrimp to the pan and gently stir to coat.
18. Remove the sauce from the heat.
19. Add the drained bow tie pasta and gently toss until everything is evenly coated in the creamy Cajun sauce.
20. Let the pasta sit for a few minutes before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it rests.
21. Taste and adjust the Cajun seasoning, Italian seasoning, black pepper, or hot sauce as needed.
