Sprinkle blackened redfish magic seasoning heavily into a bowl with the shrimp.

Mix the shrimp to ensure they are heavily coated with the seasoning.

Let the seasoned shrimp rest while the grill heats up.

Preheat the grill to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a 12-inch cast iron skillet on the grill and let it melt.

Place the shrimp into the skillet once the oil is hot.

Cook the shrimp for about 1 to 1.5 minutes, mixing occasionally.

Close the lid of the grill to ensure the shrimp cook through.

Check the shrimp after another 30 seconds to a minute for doneness.

Plate the cooked shrimp in a bowl.
