Preparation
1
Cook pasta

  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). 
  • To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 13-15 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) pasta water.
  • Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.

2
Prep

  • Peel, then cut onions into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Core, then cut peppers into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.

3
Cook veggies

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, onions and peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.

4
Make sauce

  • Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, garlic, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and half the Cajun Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  • Add 3/4 cup (1 1/4 cup) reserved pasta water, 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) milk and cream cheese. Whisk to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
  • Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Add peppers and continue to simmer for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens.

5
Cook shrimp

  • Meanwhile, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. 
  • On an unlined baking sheet, toss shrimp with remaining Cajun Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Broil in the top of the oven for 2-3 min, until shrimp just turn pink.**

6
Finish and serve

  • To the pot with pasta, add sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, half the shrimp and half the parsley. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pasta between bowls.
  • Divide remaining shrimp between bowls and sprinkle Parmesan over top.
  • Squeeze lemon wedge over top.
