Step 2

Add the minced garlic, then bring it to a simmer while stirring occasionally, add the shrimp, and season them with cajun seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Give them a good stir to combine and distribute the seasonings evenly, then add the cooking wine, and add in the drained pasta.

Give them a good toss until well mixed, then sprinkle the chopped parsley, and give them a final mix. Turn off the heat, then plate the pasta, and sprinkle some parmesan cheese all over the top. Serve and enjoy!
