I am sharing my Cajun Creamy Shrimp Pasta recipe that my son helped me cook.

I have learned that my son will eat and try new foods if he helps with the preparation.

While my child and I were preparing the creamy shrimp pasta, he asked if he could add bacon, I was for the idea as long as he knew I would include mushrooms and bell peppers.

After we had cooked the food, we sat down for dinner.
I was pleasantly surprised when my son devoured all the food on his plate, even the mushrooms and bell peppers!

This creamy, delicious Cajun shrimp pasta has become a family favorite.

I think if you try my Cajun Creamy Shrimp Pasta, you will be impressed.

The pasta dish turned out flavorful, vibrant, and creamy with an incredible taste of parmesan from the melted cheese.

It’s the perfect recipe for any seafood lover!

You could serve the pasta with a side salad and bread.

My son enjoys just eating the shrimp pasta without a side salad or bread.

And, my husband prefers buttered french bread with his meal.

The Cajun Creamy Shrimp Pasta serves 4-6 people, and you will want to eat it while it’s hot.

I find the pasta tastes better warm than it does cold. If you need to refrigerate any leftover pasta, place it in an airtight covered dish.

The pasta can be heated in the microwave when needed.

    Instead of using the two tablespoons of butter to cook vegetables, what do you think of cooking them in two tablespoons of the bacon grease? You have to cook the bacon any way. 🙂 Just curious if you think it would be to much overload on bacon flavor. Thank you
