Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut the hot pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping hot peppers.)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then corn. Cook for 2 min, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden.
- Add hot peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat.
- Transfer veggies to a plate.
- Drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- On a separate cutting board, remove and discard tails. Season with salt, pepper and half the Cajun Spice Blend.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then shrimp. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.**
- Transfer shrimp to another plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt. Add remaining Cajun Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec-1 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Add crushed tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
- Add cream, roasted pepper pesto and half the Parmesan. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring occasionally, until Parmesan melts.
- Remove from heat.
- When sauce is almost done, to the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 2-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water.
- Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.
- To the pot with linguine, add sauce, veggies and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) reserved pasta water. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.) Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta between bowls. Top with shrimp.
- Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
