Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cajun Shrimp Linguine with Corn.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the linguine and cook it until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, which should take about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
When it’s done, drain the pasta and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 4
Next, grab a large saucepan and toss in the shrimp along with your crab boil seasoning.
Step 5
Pour in enough water to cover the shrimp by about an inch.
Step 6
Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat, and in just 3 minutes, you’ll see the shrimp turn a lovely pink color.
Step 7
Once they’re cooked, drain them and set them aside as well.
Step 8
Now, let’s move to a large skillet where you’ll melt some butter over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Add in the minced garlic and diced red onion, stirring them together until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take around 4 minutes.
Step 10
The aroma will be delightful! Next, stir in the diced bell pepper, sweet corn, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, oregano, chipotle pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Step 11
Mix everything together well, and then pour in the half-and-half, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 12
This is where the flavors really start to come alive! Once your mixture is simmering beautifully, it’s time to add the cooked shrimp.
Step 13
Gently toss everything together, then fold in the drained linguine until every strand is coated in that creamy, flavorful sauce.
Step 14
And there you have it! A delicious, vibrant dish that’s sure to impress.
