Cajun Shrimp Pasta

I ate at a Chili's restaurant and had this amazing dish that I knew I just had to try to recreate. The results are an al dente pasta with a creamy, cheesy sauce and tender shrimp with mild cajun seasoning that lingers on your palate but doesn't overpower the dish. Serve it with garlic bread and salad for a great meal! —Brooklyn Trammell, New Haven, Kentucky

Easy Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

Chunks of cucumber, tomatoes, cilantro and avocado combined with shrimp in a tomato base sauce create this refreshing shrimp cocktail that's bursting with flavors. You'll even get a little heat from the Tobasco sauce. Serve it with saltine crackers to compliment the sweet tomato flavors. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
