Cajun Buffalo Shrimp Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated in the mixture. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

    In a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, add the marinated shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

    Combine and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat and pour the Cajun buffalo sauce over the cooked shrimp. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly in the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
