I too, like shrimp with pasta and red sauce! I am not familiar with cajun flavors but I like that you can mix easy-to find ingredients to achieve the flavor. This will be on my menu pretty soon! 🙂 The solar eclipse sounds great! Wish I was in the US. 🙂
Yes, I am really looking forward to the total solar eclipse 🙂 And I’ve never really visited that part of the US before, so it’ll be a fun travel and eating experience.
