By Fiona Haynes, About.com

Cajun Shrimp
Use your favorite salt-free Cajun seasoning blend--mine has paprika, celery seed, garlic, basil, white pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme and parsley--to add a kick to these shrimp kebabs.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning (preferably salt-free)
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, de-veined, tail on

Preparation:

Soak 4-6 wooden skewers in cold water for 30 minutes. Combine olive oil, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning and garlic in a small bowl. Place shrimp in a glass dish and drizzle with Cajun mixture, turning to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes. Preheat grill or broiler, then thread shrimp on to pre-soaked skewers. Broil or grill for 2-3 minutes each side. Serve as an appetizer or as an entrée with grilled vegetables and rice.
