Make the sauce: In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.

Add cheese and lemon: Stir in Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine everything: Add the cooked pasta and shrimp back into the skillet. Toss everything gently until the pasta is coated in the creamy sauce and shrimp are evenly distributed.

Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top and serve immediately.

Tips for Perfect Cajun Shrimp Pasta

Adjust the Cajun seasoning to your preferred spice level.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and smooth texture.
Don’t overcook the shrimp — they cook quickly and become rubbery if left too long.
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
Serve with crusty bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
