Printable Recipe
Ingredients:
1/2 lbs frozen shrimp (I used small shrimp), deveined, peeled and tails removed
1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
10 oz penne pasta
1 small shallot, finely minced
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
2 teaspoons Louisiana hot sauce
Directions:
Place the shrimp in a bowl or shallow dish. Add the seafood seasoning and garlic powder; toss to coat. Set aside.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Set aside.
In a skillet, over medium heat add the olive oil and shallots. Cook the shallots until softened, about 5 minutes. Do not let them burn. Add the cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire, Cajun seasoning and hot sauce. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and simmer until the shrimp is pink and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Toss with cooked pasta. Add reserved pasta sauce to thin out the sauce if necessary. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Thats funny, we had shrimp last night and I did a marinade with creole seasoning and I thought it was a bit salty, too. I figured I should check but I bet there is a decent amount of salt in the creole seasoning. This still looks yummy - lots of good flavors!
Seems like some of the seasonings were maybe salt-heavy?
This ingredients sound great together, I wonder if the Creole seasoning is to blame? I wouldn't have expected it to be all that salty. I love shrimp and pasta though, so it appeals to me!
We don't eat much creole food at all. I don't know why, it's usually so tasty! So even though this isn't a WOW I think I'll still try it, with less salt :) And whats up w the over salting? I killed a few things last week due to over salting. Hate it when that happens LOL :)
It's hard to go wrong with shrimp and pasta! It looks delicious, and the warning about the salt is noted. I like it when the saga behind a dish is offered, which is why I told about my three attempts to bake hamantaschen last year; cooking is an art, and it's fun. Just 'cause it doesn't always work as planned doesn't mean you can't still enjoy yourself and then revise!
My SIL had a Creole shrimp dish the other day and I though it was awesome - after she ate the shrimp I drank the sauce. I'd love to have the recipe for it.
ahh but its nice for us Brits to have some intriguing flavours to play with... lovely stuff!
This would certainly make a wonderful everyday meal!
It looks rich and creamy. It's too bad it was a little too salty for your tastes.
Cajun/Creole Seasoning is typically very salty. I've had more than one dish that turned out less than stellar due to too much salt. I think the shrimp pasta looks and sounds delicious though so I'm glad you shared it. Reminds me of home!
Well they can't always be homeruns, right?
this looks really good and very simple. Must try !!
