Cajun Shrimp Alfredo

"This recipe is a keeper! I absolutely loved it. I didn't have Cajun Seasoning, but I found a great recipe online (I've posted it separately). I didn't have Gruyere so I used what I had on hand, and it was still phenomenal. Recipe courtesy of Family Circle May 2010 and Rebekah Diehl-Shipper of Sterling, Ohio."

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
