Step 1

Begin by building a medium high heat fire (about 350F) for direct cooking. Add your grill grate 2-3 minutes before cooking.

Step 2

Add your shrimp to a bowl then mix together the homemade cajun seasoning. Add some oil to the shrimp and generously season with the cajun rub coating all the shrimp. Set to the side.

Step 3

Add a cast iron skillet to the grill to heat up for 2-3 minutes. Add your shrimp to the skillet to cook for 60-90 seconds per side or until they are a “C” shape. Pull off and keep warm when done.

Step 4

If possible, lower the heat of the fire (or maneuver your grill so you have a cooler cooking area) to medium heat (around 300F). Melt your butter in the skillet, then add your minced garlic to brown for 3-4 minutes. Finally, add your heavy cream and parmesan little by little while constantly stirring and allowing the sauce to simmer. Be careful not to do this over too high of heat as the sauce will “separate”. The sauce will be ready when you can create a line on the back of a spoon with your finger. When done, add salt and black pepper along with your cooked pasta. Mix together thoroughly and then pull the skillet from the heat.

Step 5

Add your shrimp back to the cooked pasta. Garnish with chopped chives. Serve and enjoy!
