Creamy Cajun Shrimp Scampi

Boil fettuccine until al dente (about 11 minutes), reserving about ½ cup of the pasta water for later.

Season the shrimp with Cajun seasoning and cook hot and fast with 2 Tbsp butter in a cast iron skillet. Flip after 1 minute. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside, covering to keep warm.

To make the sauce, melt the remaining 4 Tbsp butter in the same skillet. Sauté diced onions for about 5 minutes, then add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the white wine and simmer until halved, which takes approximately 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the heavy cream, the juice of the lemon, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and let the sauce get bubbly.

Finally, introduce the cooked noodles and shrimp into the sauce. Toss to combine. Garnish with more Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
