Blackened Shrimp Ingredients

Method

Blackened Shrimp Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Season the Shrimp

    Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mix generously over the shrimp on all sides.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a dark crust.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately with apple cider vinaigrette, spinach pesto, tomato-basil relish, and hush puppies.
