Great recipe! I would just use Dreamfields pasta instead of regular pasta!
Oh that looks yummy
I have been searching for a healthy alternative to the TGIFriday’s Cajun Chicken and Shrimp pasta. I think I’ve found it 🙂
I tried this recipe yesterday. So easy, pretty cheap, and extremely yummy! This is definitely a keeper. Thank you!
I tried this last nite, and substituted the shrimp with chicken. I still turned out yummy!
Is there a substitute for the mushrooms? I love them but my son is allergic…HELP!!
Feel free to skip them entirely. 🙂
