  2. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Thread shrimp onto skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
  4. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Baste with extra olive oil if needed.
  5. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
