Instructions

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the oil. Saute the garlic, peppers, and onion until soft. Then stir in the beans, 3/4 of the cajun seasoning, tomato, lemon juice, thyme, and broth. Bring to a low simmer, stirring occasionally until the sauce reduces and builds flavor.
  • Season the shrimp on both sides with remaining Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Heat a saute pan on medium heat. Once hot, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil. Sear the shrimp on both sides golden brown to an internal temperature of 120 degrees using a thermometer. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Toss the pasta in the sauce and serve with shrimp and bread. Garnish with parsley.
