0 Cook the [wprm-ingredient text="½ lb. linguini" uid="0"] according to the packaging instructions. Drain, saving a little pasta water, and reserve.
10 Heat [wprm-ingredient text="1 ½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil" uid="2"] in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
1 If you haven't already, peel and devein [wprm-ingredient text="1 lb. shrimp" uid="5"].

(If your Cajun seasoning has salt, please skip the additional salt.)

3 Next, add the prepared shrimp to the pan.

7 Add the shrimp back to the pan, then add the cooked pasta and ¼-½ cup of the cooking liquid directly to the pan, too.
8 Add [wprm-ingredient text="4 tablespoons unsalted butter" uid="14"], and let it melt into the sauce and noodles, stirring it vigorously.
9 Serve warm with a favorite glass of wine and a slice of crusty bread.
