Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Pasta
It’s spicy and creamy with sauteed shrimp, smoky andouille sausage, and linguini pasta. Full of bold and mouth watering flavors, simple and quick to pull together.
This is the perfect weeknight recipe for a family, or for individuals looking to enjoy leftovers the next day. The flavours are bold, delicious, has the perfect amount of spice yet creamy at the same time. I love serving this dish with a side of toasted buttery garlic bread and adding on garnishes like parmesan and fresh parsley.
