I moved to South Louisiana in 1987. My husband is a true Cajun and I've always been a 'wannabe Cajun'. The first order of business was to learn to cook...so this recipe was the result of my love for pasta and his love for Shrimp. Although this is not an authentic Cajun recipe, it qualifies as a real Cajun pleasure! I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.

    Serve over your favorite pasta. The delicate flavor of the 'gravy' and shrimp go very well with angel hair pasta...yes, that's my favorite.

    NOTE!!! If possible, use a large pasta bowl to serve pasta covered with sauce. Flavor is much nicer when served that way.
