Spicy Cajun Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
1
To create a flavorful blend, combine paprika, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a resealable container. Seal the bag and give it a thorough mix.

Next, add the shrimp to the container and make sure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture. Seal the bag again and give it a final shake to distribute the flavors.

Now, heat some oil in a large skillet with a non-stick coating over medium-high heat. Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil and stir constantly until they turn a vibrant pink on the outside and the meat is opaque throughout, taking around 4 minutes.
