How to Make Cajun Sauteed Shrimp
- In a large zip-top plastic bag, combine 1 pound shrimp, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Seal the bag tightly and shake well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the Cajun mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be shimmering hot before adding the shrimp.
- Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and spread them out in a single layer.
- Sauté for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, and are cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Serve immediately with crusty French bread and a fresh salad. Enjoy!
