Easy Cajun Shrimp Pasta

You’ve been warned: this unassuming little recipe is dynamite. Let’s face it-Cajun Shrimp has been a favorite of mine ever since I can remember. My childhood BFF is from New Orleans and cajun and creole cuisine has always had a soft spot in my heart. I virtually had lunch with this guy and our group of friends every single day throughout high school; and I always got to try the awesome food they packed him.

Easy Cajun Shrimp Tacos!

Tacos; one simple word that evokes so many mouth-watering variations! Tacos don’t necessarily have to equal junk/fast food, especially when prepared at home & stuffed with real, wholesome ingredients. It all starts with the shell: I ditched white flour & always opt for organic yellow or white corn tortillas.
