How to Make Creamy Quick Cajun Shrimp

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound shrimp, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside.

  3. Add 10.75 ounces (1 can) condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook until heated through and pink (about 3-5 minutes). Do not overcook!
  5. Serve immediately over cooked rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and enjoy with a side of steamed broccoli.
