Cajun Shrimp Alfredo

This recipe is actually my version of a certain restaurants pasta dish. It's easy and quick to make and it's really tasty. I use my homemade cajun/creole seasoning ( https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/2997167-homemade-cajuncreole-seasoning ) to make this up, so if the seasoning you use has a lot of heat to it, you may need to adjust the amount you add.

While waiting on the water to boil, in a large, deep skillet, heat the 1 tbsp. butter over med-high heat. Once it's melted, add the shrimp. Season it with 1 tsp. of the cajun seasoning and cook until it is pink and opaque. Remove it to a plate, cover the shrimp with foil and set it aside.

Place the cream, the 1/2 cup butter and the cream cheese into the same skillet. Whisk it together often while it all melts.

Once the butter and cream cheese are melted and smooth, whisk in the remaining 2 tsp of cajun seasoning, the pepper, the onion powder, the garlic, the tomatoes, the parmesan and the gouda. Whisk until the cheese melts completely.

Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 or so minutes, to thicken up. Then combine the sauce and the shrimp with the pasta in the pot. Toss everything together until it's all incorporated.

My kids absolutely LOVE Alfredo! When my family and I eat at Fridays, I always order their Cajun Chicken and Shrimp Alfredo. I decided to study my delicious dish that was sitting in front me. I went home one day and decided to create the same dish with a little of my own spin on it. It's one of my BEST!!! roquel -
