"This is an easy and delicious shrimp dish. You can replace the Cajun seasoning with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste) if desired. I use my recipe #186029. Serve this with a crusty French bread and rice :)"

This was a super easy to make shrimp dish. I bought the shrimp already peeled and the recipe came together very quickly. The flavor was good, but next time I think I'll add in a bit more cajun seasoning. I might add in some cayenne also. I served this with Crock Pot Onion Potatoes #91248 and rolls. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
