Ingredients

For the Shrimp

  • 1½ –2 lbs large shrimp peeled & deveined
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tbsp Creole Trinity & Herb
  • 1 tbsp seafood seasoning Magic Seafood recommended
  • 1 tbsp blackened redfish seasoning
  • 4 tbsp butter

For the Pasta

  • 1 lb dry pasta linguine, angel hair, or spaghetti
  • ½ cup dry white wine Sauvignon Blanc recommended
  • 16 oz chicken bone broth or chicken stock
  • 1 lemon cut into quarters
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Creole Trinity & Herb
  • ½ bunch green onions chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 whole lemon
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Instructions

Season the Shrimp

  • In a bowl, toss shrimp with lemon juice, Creole Trinity & Herb, seafood seasoning, and blackened seasoning. Set aside.

Sear the Shrimp

  • Melt the butter in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink on one side, flip, and cook the other side. They do not need to be fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Build the One-Pot Pasta

  • In the same pan, add the dry pasta, white wine, chicken broth, lemon quarters, garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, Creole Trinity & Herb, and green onions. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook—stirring occasionally—until the pasta is al dente.

Finish the Sauce

  • Remove the lemon quarters. Stir in the Parmesan, lemon zest, lemon juice, and heavy cream until the sauce becomes creamy and silky. Return the shrimp to the pot and cook for 2–3 minutes, just until done.
