Cajun Shrimp with Garlic Butter Sauce

You Will Need:

1 pound medium-to-large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons room temperature butter

1 clove garlic, finely minced or grated

1 tablespoon cilantro or parsley leaves, minced

1 ½ teaspoons homemade cajun seasoning

Directions:

1Use a paper towel to pat the shrimp dry.

2Create the flavorful butter by combining the butter, garlic, cilantro (or parsley), and cajun seasoning. Mix well and set aside.

3Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the shrimp to the pan, arranging them in a single layer. It’s okay if a few shrimp are stacked on each other. Cook for about 1 minute until the shrimp begin to turn pink.

4Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cajun butter to the skillet. Stir well to coat the shrimp evenly. Continue cooking and stirring until the shrimp are firm and opaque throughout, which should take approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
