Críspy Cajun Shrímp Fettuccíne


As í sít here enjoyíng a glass of Pínot Grígío after eatíng a full plate of thís íncredíble fettuccíne, í can’t help but thínk back to the last tíme í had a hangover. ít was a few months ago, í’m not a bíg drínker, but í wíll índulge every once ín a whíle and most ímportantly í am a very cheap date, one drínk or two and í’m a goner. Good thíng there’s no more datíng for me, í’m sure hubs wouldn’t apprecíate that. Seríously though, í cannot hold my líquor for the lífe of me. God knows í’ve tríed, í mean occasíonally í’ll go on a gírls níght out and have a couple glasses of wíne, but í always go wíth the íntent of drínkíng a lot because that’s just how mature í am. And ít never happens. But every once ín a whíle, even those 2 glasses of wíne, or whatever í’m índulgíng ín that níght, go to my head and unfortunately, í suffer ín the morníng. My poor husband has to put up wíth me duríng these tímes, though not often, don’t get the wrong ídea, but when they do happen and í get somewhat “típsy“, well what can í say, í’m a very happy drunk and í start síngíng.

Díd í mentíon í can’t síng? One thíng í’ve always wíshed for ís the talent to síng. But no, no that’s just not me. So when í do start síngíng after a couple glasses of wíne, well you just don’t want to be around me, unless you yourself are also ínebríated. Then we míght have some fun together. Just ín case you were wonderíng, when í do get a líttle típsy í love to síng Gloría Gaynor. Don’t ask me why, just … don’t even go there!

But you’re probably wonderíng why í’m tellíng you all thís, or what íf anythíng thís has to do wíth thís íncredíble fettuccíne dísh. No relatíon whatsoever. ít’s just the glass of wíne í’m enjoyíng that’s gettíng to my head. But movíng on. Thís fettuccíne ís a very old recípe of míne, as a matter of fact í’ve shared thís wíth you way back ín 2012, and wanted a redo, so here ít ís.

Díd í say ít’s a favoríte of míne? We’re talkíng críspy fríed cajun shrímp on a bed of creamy fettuccíne wíth a símple creamy sauce that really only requíres 3 íngredíents, unless you count the salt and pepper.



But honestly, dínner couldn’t get any easíer, and we’re talkíng 20 mínutes tops before thís dísh wíll make íts way onto your dínner table. So have at ít!
