My first failure.

How it's Supposed to look:

\

I got the idea to make Cajun shrimp. I had this bag of shrimp that was just sitting in my freezer and I bought this new cajun seasoning. I've made a lot of "cajun "chicken in my day, so I knew I had the ultimate combo.


Cajun Shrimp recipe via http://shrimprecipe.org/

How mine looks:

Ingredients
  • 2-3 pounds large shrimp

  • 2-tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 ½ tablespoon of paprika

  • 2 tablespoon salt

  • 2 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon cayenne powder

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme

  • lemon wedges

  • freshly chopped parsley

This is a healthy dish suitable to all seafood lovers. The recipe is easy to cook and requires less effort. The preparation time for this recipe is 15 minutes and cooking time takes 20 minutes.

The ingredients needed for this recipe are listed above

In a container add the paprika, salt, garlic powder and mix it well. Again, add pepper, onion powder, cayenne powder, dried oregano, dried thyme and mix it well. Use this as an essence for this recipe. Store the essence in a separate container.

Clean and wash the shrimp and place them in a platter. Now sprinkle the essence over the shrimp. Now heat the saucepan on the stove. When the saucepan is heated, add olive oil in it. Now transfer the shrimp to the saucepan. Sauté the shrimp for 1-2 minutes until it turns pink. When the shrimp turns pink, transfer it to a bowl. Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp. Serve the dish with lemon wedges.


Conclusion:


Ok, So for my shrimp, I decided to mix all the ingredients together in a bowl put the shrimp in the bowl and shake it up. Instead of just using the cajun seasoning i also used, papika, peper, garlic powder, etc, all btw are in the cajun seasoning. SO, as you may have guessed my shrimp was salty! Like my little sister who puts salt on everything spat it out and threw it in the garbage salty. I had to mix it really good in my rice and have a large glass of juice in order to eat it. And yes, I ate it! Shrimp's too expensive to throw away.
