How to Make Cajun Shrimp
- Cut 1 pound of shrimp into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Dredge shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated, shaking off any excess.
- Fry shrimp in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add a dash of Tabasco sauce to the skillet during cooking for extra spice (optional).
- Remove shrimp from skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
