Cajun Shrimp

These quick, juicy Cajun Shrimp are exploding with flavor.

Ingredients :
  • 1 pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • lemon wedges for serving
Directions :
  1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil together. Stir in garlic and Cajun seasoning until fragrant, about 30 seconds (do not scorch).
  2. Add shrimp and stir until pink and cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size of your shrimp. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper (I prefer a pinch of each.) Serve with lemon wedges.
