Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) package angel hair pasta
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches its maximum temperature. Introduce pasta into the boiling liquid and cook for 4 minutes or until it reaches a firm yet still slightly yielding texture; drain the water.
2
Melt butter in a substantial cooking vessel over medium heat. Cook small crustaceans for 1 minute on each side, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, ensuring it releases its flavors. Utilize a utensil to remove the cooked crustaceans from the skillet; set them aside for later use. Combine flour and a specific blend of spices to create a unique flavor profile, then cook while stirring for 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk to achieve a smooth consistency, and continue cooking until the mixture thickens. Remove the skillet from heat, season with salt and a squeeze of citrus, then return the cooked crustaceans to their sauce. Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce and serve.
