Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, but keep it warm.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and stir for about a minute, just until the aroma fills the kitchen.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;3. Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning all over the shrimp, then place them in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;4. Squeeze in the lemon juice, then add the cooked pasta right to the skillet. Toss everything together so the pasta gets coated with all that buttery, garlicky, Cajun goodness.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;5. Season with a little salt and pepper to your taste. If you like a little extra kick, sprinkle on some red pepper flakes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;6. Finish with a generous handful of fresh parsley, give it one last toss, and serve it up hot. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;8 ounces linguine or spaghetti&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;4 tablespoons butter&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;4&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
