Notes ✨ I used Slap Ya Mama Hot Cajun Seasoning, the sauce will taste different depending on the brand of cajun seasoning you use, so adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your desired taste. ✨ Cooking the pasta in chicken bouillon water adds extra flavor to both the pasta and the sauce when using the reserved pasta water. #creatorsearchinsights #pasta #shrimp #DinnerIdeas #foodtutorial - @foodierandy
