Shrimp pasta

I love good shrimp pasta! My favorite creamy shrimp pasta is, of course, shrimp alfredo. Did you know you can make creamy shrimp pasta with a kick? Yep by simply adding in some blackened seasoning.

Blackened Shrimp

I recently discovered this blackened seasoning from  Chef Eddie Tancredi called etc from a food trade show. I really wanted to make a blackened shrimp with it. Sure I could do a blackened salmon, but a blackened shrimp sounded much better.

Cajun Shrimp Pasta

If I am using blackened seasoning, then why not make this a cajun shrimp pasta. For balance in this cajun shrimp pasta, I decided to make it with a creamy cheese sauce, like alfredo. This creamy shrimp pasta is perfect for a filling dinner.

What is blackened seasoning?

What is blackened seasoning? Blackened seasoning is a blend of smoked paprika, onions powder, sea salt, garlic powder, black pepper, dried thyme, oregano, and cayenne pepper. It does have a bit of heat, but blackened seasoning to me also has a smokey taste to it as well.

Plus blackened seasoning isn’t as hot as a cajun seasoning in my opinion. So if you want a cajun recipe but you are afraid of the heat, then try a blackened seasoning instead.
