Instructions

1 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti to 1 minute less
than package instructions. Drain spaghetti, reserving one cup of the pasta
water.
2 Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat olive oil and add the white parts of the
scallions, the peppers, Cajun seasoning, and the lime. Stir and cook until the
peppers start to soften; about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, stir and cook for
about 1 minute then add the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, stir, and let
the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the crab and shrimp and cook until
the shrimp are opaque; 3-5 minutes. Taste and adjust the sauce adding more Cajun
seasoning or salt to taste.
3 Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add the
reserved pasta water as needed to loosen. Garnish with parsley, the remaining
scallions and serve with lime wedges.
4 Enjoy!
