I had been eyeing this crispy shrimp pasta recipe from Kevin and Amanda for a while. If you are a reader of this blog, you should know that I love seafood, especially shrimp. Eating shrimp makes me and my stomach deliriously happy, I am serious! Growing up, we would always have shrimp on our dining table, every single day, so I can hardly go by a few days without having some sort of shrimp dishes in my diet. Shrimp is definitely my favorite seafood.

This crispy shrimp pasta has been circling around on my social media for months, especially on my Facebook and Pinterest feeds. I saved it to my recipe box. A few days ago when I was clearing my fridge, I spotted a box of leftover whipping cream, which was about to expire, so I used it to make the crispy shrimp pasta.

Oh boy, I am so glad I finally made it. This crispy shrimp pasta is utterly scrumptious, with mouthwatering shrimp, in a rich and creamy sauce jazzed up by the cajun seasoning. So the dish is creamy, savory, with a tint of heat from the spices. It was heavenly!

What’s more, from start to finish, the dish takes less than 30 minutes, and that includes the pasta boiling time. I love a recipe that allows me to multitask. In this case, while the pasta was cooking, I started preparing the crispy shrimp. By the time the shrimp was done, the pasta was ready and I started making the sauce for the pasta. Easy peasy and no sweat.

Our entire family enjoyed the crispy shrimp pasta a lot. The leftover was packed in little G’s lunch box and he ate everything at school the following day. Now, that’s the kind of recipe that will remain in my recipe box forever.
