Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Pasta

Creamy Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Pasta

This creamy Cajun shrimp and sausage pasta dish was inspired by the flavors of gumbo. Like lots of gumbos, this recipe starts with a roux that adds depth and complexity to the creamy sauce. We like this with a simple green salad and crusty bread.
