Cajun Shrimp Pasta

Cajun Shrimp pasta is similar to Bahama Breeze's "Calypso Shrimp Pasta." It's a deeply flavorful slightly spicy brothy sauce that sops into crusty bread perfectly. The plump shrimp and sauce make it a lighter pasta dish that won't weigh you down but will blow your taste buds away.
