Cajun Shrimp Scampi

Ingredients:

– 12 raw shrimp (or more if desired)
– 1 serving of linguine pasta
– 2 cloves garlic (minced)
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– shredded parmesan cheese (for topping)
– 1/8 teaspoon basil
– salt to taste
– pepper to taste
– flour (for thickening the sauce)
– cajun seasoning (to taste)
– 1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
– 1/4 cup white wine
– olive oil (for cooking)

Recipe Steps:

 Heat a saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the butter, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of white wine and bring to a boil.

 Add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

 Add the shrimp to the pan.

 Season the shrimp generously with cajun seasoning to your liking.

 Cook the shrimp until they are pink on one side, then flip them and cook for another minute before removing them from the pan, leaving the cooking liquid behind.

 Into the same pan, add the heavy cream, basil, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

 Whisk in sprinkles of flour until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

 Lower the heat to medium-low and add the cooked shrimp back into the pan.

 Toss the shrimp to coat with the sauce and serve over the linguine pasta. Top with parmesan cheese and enjoy!
