45 minutes
Pasta with spicy shrimp is a dish that combines rich creamy tones and the piquant heat of spices. Inspired by European cuisine with influences from Creole traditions, it embodies the harmony of seafood, tender linguine pasta, and aromatic spices. Shrimp sautéed in creamy butter with onions and garlic gain softness and depth of flavor, while the addition of Cajun seasoning gives them a fiery touch. Rich cream softens the sharpness of the spices, creating a silky sauce, while Parmesan and red pepper complete the composition with depth of flavor nuances. The dish is perfect for a festive dinner or romantic evening when you want to enjoy an exquisite yet cozy taste complemented by fresh parsley.
