Let's cook
Cook the penne in salted boiling water. Save 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Toss the shrimp with half the Cajun seasoning. Cook in 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat until pink, 2 minutes per side. Move to a plate.
Add the cream and the rest of the seasoning to the pan and simmer 3 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan.
Add the pasta and shrimp and toss, loosening with pasta water if needed.
