How to Make Kickin Cajun Spicy Grilled Shrimp
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference).
- Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the bowl.
- Gently toss the shrimp until they are evenly coated with the Cajun mixture. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to all day in the refrigerator for extra flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread shrimp onto two metal skewers (or soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning).
- Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the remaining marinade.
- Grill shrimp for 2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- During the last minute of grilling, baste the shrimp with the reserved marinade.
- Remove from grill and serve immediately over rice, in a salad, or as an appetizer.
