Instructions: Step-by-Step Preparation
Let’s walk through the cooking process to ensure each shrimp is packed with flavor and seared to juicy perfection.
Step 1: Prep the Shrimp
Start by patting the shrimp dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture ensures they sear nicely and don’t steam in the pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shrimp with:
Cajun seasoning
Smoked paprika
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Salt
Black pepper
Gently toss the shrimp to ensure they’re evenly coated in the seasoning blend. Let them marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the skillet.
Chef’s Note: If you prefer a homemade Cajun blend, try combining:
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp thyme
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
