Categories     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 14

500 g (1lb) pasta
500 g (1lb) shrimp / prawns (peeled and deveined )
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chilli flakes
2 tsp oregano
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp crushed fresh garlic
1 cup white wine (I used Sauvignon Blanc)
1 cup heavy cream
1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of salted water over medium heat. Bring to the boil then season generously with salt.
  • Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of water then drain and set aside.
  • Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a large bowl then add the olive oil, crushed garlic, half of the seasonings and a generous pinch of salt.
  • Stir to coat the shrimp in the spices.
  • Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Sear the shrimp for a minute per side until they are golden brown and just cooked.
  • Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter and add the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds then add the remaining spices.

  • Pour in the cream and season with salt and pepper. Allow the cream to simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Add the shrimp back to the pan with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Allow the shrimp to heat through.
  • Toss the creamy sauce and shrimp with cooked pasta of your choice and a splash of the reserved pasta water and serve scattered with fresh parsley and oregano (optional).
