Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings).
- To the boiling water, add penne. Cook for 13-15 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) pasta water.
- Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Peel, then cut onions into 1/2-inch slices.
- Core, then cut peppers into 1/4-inch slices.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, onions and peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender.
- Transfer to a plate.
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, garlic, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and half the Cajun Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Add 3/4 cup (1 1/4 cup) reserved pasta water, 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) milk and cream cheese. Whisk to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Add peppers and continue to simmer for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens.
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels.
- On an unlined baking sheet, toss shrimp with remaining Cajun Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Broil in the top of the oven for 2-3 min, until shrimp just turn pink.**
- To the pot with pasta, add sauce, lemon zest, lemon juice, half the shrimp and half the parsley. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta between bowls.
- Divide remaining shrimp between bowls and sprinkle Parmesan over top.
- Squeeze lemon wedge over top.
