Cajun Shrimp with Linguini

Written By: Chris - Apr• 24•13

It had been a full Saturday, and following a fun day of wine tasting last weekend we needed to grab a bite to eat before heading out for another social evening for our friend Julie’s big 50th Birthday party!  We swung by our house to grab the dog and quickly rummaged through the fridge to see what I had on hand to prepare a quick and delicious, yet healthier choice meal.  I had a baguette, a large package of jumbo shrimp and lots of nice sweet peppers.  Heather had the pasta and some other items that she agreed she would supply as well as the salad to complete our meal.  We got back to their place and got busy.  This dish is without cream and really turned out very tasty!  David doesn’t care for tomatoes, but I heard that he commented more than once that it was delicious!  Glad you liked it bac!
