Creamy Cajun Shrimp Pasta Volcano

4️⃣ Toss Pasta & Shrimp Together

Add the cooked pasta and the shrimp back into the skillet. Splash in a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce and encourage it to cling to the noodles. Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or Cajun spice as needed.

5️⃣ Plate with Flair

Use tongs to twirl the pasta into a tall, spiraled “volcano-style” mound on the plate. Arrange extra shrimp on top for dramatic presentation. Garnish with chopped parsley and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon to brighten the richness.

Serving Notes

Serve immediately while the sauce is velvety and hot. This dish makes an impressive date-night plate or weekend treat—hearty, spicy, and done in under 30 minutes.
