Instructions

Prepare your shrimp by rinsing them (if necessary) and removing any tails and shells. If using frozen shrimp, thaw completely before using.
Heat a large cast iron or other non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the oil.
Pat the shrimp dry with some kitchen paper and add the shrimp to a bowl.
Add the Cajun seasoning (make your own in just a few minutes using THIS RECIPE). Toss well to coat.
Add the shrimp to the hot pan and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through.
Remove to a plate or bowl and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot over rice, potatoes, or a salad, or in a wrap.
