For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the blackened seasoning. If you don't have Cajun blackened seasoning, you can make your own by combining paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a bright and zesty finish. These shrimp are also delicious in tacos, salads, or pasta dishes.

Succulent shrimp, kissed with fiery Cajun spices and seared to perfection. These blackened delights are equally divine devoured straight from the pan or plunged into a pool of garlicky brown butter. A true taste of the South in every bite!
