Mama Karen Parker’s Cajun Shrimp Pasta

November 6, 2017 by Kristin 4 Comments

Adapted from Mama Karen Parker, this Cajun Shrimp Pasta comes together in no time and is packed with flavor!

A few weeks ago, I was scrolling through Instagram and saw Jessie James Decker post her mom’s recipe for this Cajun Pasta. Since my hubby LOVES anything with pasta, shrimp, and Cajun seasoning……I knew he would love this and immediately saved the recipe.

After running to the grocery store for the ingredients, I whipped this up with just a few changes and sure enough, it was a big hit! My favorite part was the asparagus in it as it gave the dish a slight crisp, crunch which was perfect! Of course, my hubby and kids LOVED the shrimp throughout and the Cajun flavor was the perfect addition!

If you or your kiddos don’t prefer a lot of “kick”, feel free to adjust the Cajun seasoning to desired preference!

Thanks Karen Parker, this recipe is definitely a hit!
