Method

Cooking the Shrimp

1

Season and Sauté Shrimp

In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque.

Making Garlic Butter

Prepare Garlic Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice, then remove from heat.

Combine and Serve

Serve

Pour the garlic butter over the cooked shrimp in the skillet, tossing to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
