Are you a seafood lover? I sure am, and my whole family loves it too. We try to include shrimp, salmon or some other fish in our diet at least once each week because seafood is such a healthy choice. This Easy One Pan Cajun Shrimp is a staple in our house for so many reasons – it makes the perfect main dish on a weeknight (serve it over rice with some steamed veggies or a salad!), and it’s also great to throw over a salad for a quick lunch or into a wrap for lunch on the go.
I absolutely love making this Easy One Pan Cajun Shrimp in my tried and true Cast Iron Pan (affiliate link)! It sears the shrimp just perfectly and has such even heat distribution – it creates the most gorgeous caramelization and intensifies the flavour. And it’s easy on the budget too, which any family would love. It’s one of my most loved kitchen tools!!

It’s THAT simple – you can have these Easy One Pan Cajun Shrimp on your plate in a matter of minutes!
