CAJUN-STYLE BROILED SHRIMP

Cajun-Style Broiled Shrimp image

Shrimp, the most versatile seafood, is now the most popular in America, and there is no wrong way to eat it. Wild shrimp from the Pacific or the Gulf of Mexico is a treat if you can find it. Fresh local shrimp from Maine or the Carolinas is an even rarer gem. (These are all preferable from a sustainability perspective.) A vast majority, of course, is farmed and frozen. If you buy it ''individually quick frozen'' in resealable bags, you can take out only as many as you want and thaw them by leaving the shrimp in the fridge for 24 hours or running them under cool water for an hour or less. Here, it is made Cajun with cayenne, paprika and garlic and quickly broiled.

SHRIMP, CAJUN STYLE

I got this recipe from my aunt years ago so I am not sure of it's original origin. I do know that this is the only way I will prepare shrimp now though. You can play around with the spices to make this as spicy or not spicy as you want. Both the grill method and oven turn out great. Enjoy!
