Homemade Cajun seasoning and butter are the main stars in this simple dish. Serve with rice or grits drizzled with the pan sauce, or serve as an appetizer. Also delicious tossed with buttered noodles.

Ingredients

Cajun Seasoning

1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme

Shrimp

2 pounds extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup butter, cubed and at room temperature
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (Optional)
6 lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, oregano, pepper, cayenne pepper, and thyme in a small bowl. Pat shrimp dry and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning mixture and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
