Preparation
1
Cook cavatappi

  • Before starting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce.
  • To the boiling water, add cavatappi. Cook uncovered for 8-9 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water. Strain cavatappi, then return to the pot, off heat. 

2
Prep

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.

3
Cook veggies

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then corn. Cook for 2 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. 
  • Add peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Sprinkle Cream Sauce Spice Blend and half the Cajun Spice Blend over top. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until toasted.

4
Make sauce

  • Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • To the same pan, add stock powder, cream cheese, reserved pasta water and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add more milk, 1-2 tbsp at a time.) Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly. 
  • Slowly add cheddar, stirring constantly for 1 min, until combined. Season with pepper. Remove from heat.
  • Transfer sauce to the pot with cavatappi, then stir to combine.
  • Carefully rinse and wipe the pan clean.

5
Cook shrimp

  • Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and remaining Cajun Spice Blend.
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then shrimp. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.** Don't crowd the pan; cook in batches, if needed.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add half the shrimp to the pot with cavatappi and sauce, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

  • Divide Cajun shrimp cavatappi between bowls.
  • Top with remaining shrimp.

7
Modularity step (under step 5)

If you've opted for double shrimp, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook the regular portion of shrimp. Work in batches, if necessary.
