Many Cajun shrimp dishes have loads of butter. This is a very tasty version that is much lower in fat. You won't miss it. Serve with French bread and a salad. Fabulous dinner on the table in less than 15 minutes.

Great recipe. It was just the right amount of spicy. We ate it with some roasted veggies (zucchini, squash, onion, carrots) and the sweetness of the veggies worked well with the shrimp. Will definitely make again.

I absolutely love this recipe! I tweaked it alittle and add white wine into the pan as well as all the other ingredients instead of shaking the shrimp in the bag. I also add in alittle seafood stock and some chicken base and simmer all until shrimp is cooked. I then remove about half of the liquid and add in flour to thicken and dump it all back into the shrimp like a sauce. On top of the cayenne pepper I add in a generous amount of, "Louisiana fish fry products Cajun blackened seasoning." It comes out phenomenal

This turned out great! I altered the recipe because I added more shrimp. So I think I used too much cayenne pepper. It was spicy. Still, very good.

My fiance loved this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly and she couldn't stop raving about it. I cooked zucchini pasta and served it with this shrimp. It was so easy. I let the shrimp marinate in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before cooking. I will definitely be making this again.
