Cajun Shrimp

imageIngredients:

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 pound of shrimp
  • Olive oil (or any kind of oil)
  • About a tbsp of butter
  • 1-2 clove of garlic
  • About half a lime

Recipe:

  1. Get your shrimp and wash them. Peel and devein the shrimp.
  2. Add all of your seasonings into a bag or bowl and mix it well. Then, coat your shrimp with the seasoning.
  3. Add oil to a pan on medium high heat. Add in your shrimp and let it cook for about 4 minutes. You’ll know the shrimp is cooked when it’s no longer transparent and starts to turn pink.
  4. While the shrimp is cooking, add in about a clove of garlic and some butter. This will give the shrimp more flavor.
  5. Squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top. Add in some cilantro or parsley if you’d like, and enjoy!

Tips*

  • If you’d like it to be even spicier, add in some red pepper flakes or spicy chili sauce.
  • If you’d like to eat the dish with rice noodles like in the photo, fill a bowl with warm water and add in the noodles. Let the noodles soak in the water for about 10 minutes, or until you’re done cooking the shrimp. Then, add the noodles into a skillet and mix it with your shrimp. This dish also goes great with some rice, vegetables, or even on it’s own!
