Cajun Shrimp Pasta Recipe

This recipe is one of my favorites and it can be modified to add more or less spice or swap out the pasta for zoodles! Serves 4-6 ~30 min Ingredients: 1 pound linguine pasta (you can swap the pasta for zoodles - spiralized zucchinis. One zucchini equates to about one serving) 1 pound shrimp 1 pound andouille sausage sliced or similar sausage  1/2 cup chicken stock or broth 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/2 yellow onion diced 1/2 green bell pepper diced 3 Tbsp cajun seasoning - we usually have Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning on hand 2 cloves garlic minced 4 Tbsp butter red pepper flakes to taste Directions:  Boil a large pot of water and cook the linguine al dente. (*side note - have you ever tried throwing a piece of pasta at the cabinets to see if it sticks? Supposedly it's done if it sticks). If you want to use only one pot, drain the pasta and set aside.

The Best Guacamole Recipe

I use a potato masher. 2 small jalapeƱos seeded and diced - you can add more or less to your taste, but we like it with more of a kick. For a different kick, try 1/2 a poblano pepper instead! 1/4 cup cilantro finely chopped - again, you can add more or less to your taste but we love cilantro! 2 roma tomatoes diced 1/2 red onion 1 juiced lime 1 clove garlic minced pinch of salt Mix it all up ...
