Instructions
- Cook the pasta al dente in well-salted water (it should be soft but it should still have a bite to it). Drain and set aside.
- Pat dry shrimp with paper towels, toss with Cajun seasoning (mine already contains salt so I'm not adding any).
- Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp in two batches, until browned on both sides and cooked through. Make sure the shrimp is not overcrowded. Place the shrimp in a pan in a clockwise pattern. When it's browned start to flip it one at a time starting with the first shrimp you have put in the pan going also clockwise (use kitchen tongs or two forks). Transfer the shrimp to a plate.
- Reduce the heat to low, add minced garlic (add some more butter if the pan is too dry). Cook it for 30 seconds.
- Add flour, cook it, whisking, for a minute.
- Add white wine and lemon juice. Cook it, whisking, until the wine is almost evaporated.
- Add cream, milk, and broth. Cook for 1-2 minutes until well combined. Make sure to scrape all the browned bits at the bottom of the pot.
- Gradually add cheese, whisking after each addition and waiting for the cheese to melt.
- Cook the sauce for 1-2 minutes, until thickened. It should be rather runny at this point - it will thicken considerably while cooling.
- When all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, season it with salt and pepper and toss with cooked pasta.
- Arrange the pasta with sauce on plates, top with cooked shrimp. Squeeze a small amount of lemon juice over shrimp and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't cook with wine you can add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the sauce instead but it tastes better with wine.
