Preparation

Step 1

Start cooking the pasta.

Melt the butter in a pan over medium-high heat, toss the shrimp in the cajun seasoning, add to pan and cook, about 2-3 minutes per side, and set aside.

Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about a 30 seconds.

Deglaze the pan with the wine, add the heavy cream, parmesan and cajun seasoning and cook until it thickens a bit, about 3-5 minutes.

Toss the pasta in with the alfredo sauce along with the shrimp and serve garnished with green onions.
