How to Make Shrimp Cajun Style
- In a large bowl or resealable bag, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the bowl and toss to coat completely with the marinade.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the shrimp to fully absorb the flavors.
- **Grill Method:** Preheat grill to medium-high heat (approximately 450°F). Thread shrimp onto skewers or place in a grill basket.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, turning occasionally.
- **Oven Method:** Preheat oven to 450°F. Place shrimp in a single layer in a 9x13 inch baking dish, and pour 2 tablespoons of the marinade over the shrimp.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
