Cajun Shrimp

I will continue my ridiculous blogging because I have been getting positive feedback! I found this awesome website that gives you recipes to restaurant meals! ( scroll down I posted the website). So my first recipe I experimented with was Red Lobsters Cajun Shrimp...mmm I've been on a shrimp obsession lately. Turned out good! Next time however I'm going to lighten up on the spices and not use all of it. I served the shrimp with a spring lettuce salad but you can serve it over rice or pasta as well. Enjoy!


Red Lobster Cajun Shrimp

1 lb. shrimp, use at least medium size
1/2 C. margarine
4 tsp cayenne pepper
3 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp cumin
2 1/4 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Place the margarine in a 13 x 9 baking pan, and then place the pan in the oven. While the pan is in the oven wash and peel shrimp. Devien the shrimp. By the time you have finished prepping the shrimp, the margarine should be melted in the pan. In a small bowl mix together the spices and blend well. Place shrimp into the pan, and then sprinkle on the seasonings you have just blended together on the shrimp. Mix the shrimp, margarine, and spices until the shrimp is coated well with margarine and shrimp. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, remove shrimp, and check for doneness. The shrimp should be pink when done.
