Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Season and Cook the Shrimp

In a small bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
