Shrimp Preparation

Method

Shrimp Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat Cooking Surface

    If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If frying, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    For grilling: Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. For frying: Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the grill or skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve immediately.
