This vibrant Cajun Shrimp Pasta combines succulent shrimp, colorful vegetables, and a creamy dressing, all tossed with farfalle pasta. It's a delightful and hearty dish that's perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are seasoned to perfection and cooked until pink, then mixed with fresh ingredients for a refreshing salad feel.
1: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2: Toss the shrimp with the olive oil and the cajun seasoning.
3: Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 6 minutes, flipping once, until they are completely pink. Set aside.
4: In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Ranch seasoning and taco seasoning until well combined. Set aside.
5: Cook the pasta to al dente, according to the package directions, in a large pot of boiling water.
6: Drain and rinse the pasta with cold water until it has cooled.
7: Place the pasta in a large bowl and add the corn, red pepper, tomatoes, black olives, black beans, red onion, cilantro, avocado, and shrimp.
8: Add the dressing (you may not need all of it) and toss lightly until everything is coated.
9: Alternatively, refrigerate the salad, shrimp, and dressing separately if making ahead of time, and toss together right before serving.
10: Don’t cut and add the avocado until right before serving as it will brown quickly.
