The Best JUICY Cajun Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining flavor.

Cajun seasoning

💰Cheaper: homemade spice blend

Homemade blends can be cheaper and tailored to taste.

Season the shrimp with pepper, salt, half a teaspoon of kitchen seasoning, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, and paprika for color. Mix well.

Set the seasoned shrimp aside.

In a skillet, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt.

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2.5 minutes per side.

Once flipped, cook the other side for another 2.5 minutes.

Add fresh minced garlic to the skillet after flipping the shrimp to avoid burning it.

Turn off the stove and add fresh parsley and red onion to the shrimp.

Mix everything together and serve.
