CAJUN GRILLED SHRIMP



Cajun Grilled Shrimp image

This grilled shrimp recipe came from a neighbor, Katie. These shrimp are a nice change from the regular Cocktail shrimp. The ingredient list looks long, but very easy to make with sprices/herbs that are usually onhand. Easy make-ahead, or bring with appetizer. Frozen shrimp work great.

Time 11m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
3 tablespoons cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper

  • Thread shrimp onto skewers. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. If using a gas grill, place all the wood chips or chunks in the smoker box or in a smoker pouch and run the grill on high until you see smoke. If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to high, then toss all of the wood chips or chunks on the coals. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the marinated shrimp on the hot grate and grill until just cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes per side. When done, the shrimp will turn a pinkish white and feel firm to the touch.
