We loved this and it was so easy to make. It was quite spicy,but in a good way. I used Penzeys cajun seasoning and cayenne. I also used a large regular tomato because I didn't have any plum tomatoes, and as usual, I brined the shrimp in 1 quart water with 1/4 cup diamond crystal salt for 1/2 hour.

All it needed was a big arugula, bibb and romaine salad and a loaf of crusty bread.

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

8 oz uncooked linguine2 Tbs (1/4 stick)butter

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 plum tomatoes, chopped

1 lb peeled and deveined medium shrimp

1 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning

1/2 tsp ground red pepper

1/8 tsp salt

1/2 cup half-and-half

1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.

Place pasta in a large bowl; keep warm.

2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 3

minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and tomatoes; sauté 2 minutes,

stirring constantly. Sprinkle shrimp with Cajun seasoning, red pepper, and

salt. Add shrimp mixture to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until shrimp are almost

done; remove from heat. Stir in half-and-half. Pour shrimp mixture over

pasta; toss. Sprinkle with parsley.

Comments: The combo of Cajun seasoning and ground red pepper really packs a

punch of heat in this dish, but the creamy sauce takes the edge off.

Decrease the ground red pepper or simply omit it for a milder version of the

dish. Serve with sliced French bread.
