Cajun Shrimp

Cajun Shrimp served with Corn Maque Choux and Red Beans & Rice

“These are some of the best shrimp I’ve ever had. Casey would make it for barbecues at work. It is very easy to make, though I was never able to make it quite the same as he would. Along with Carl’s Gumbo recipe, it was a favorite among all the electricians at the cement plant.” – Stephen Ferre

Notes

If you put the garlic in at the start, I think it makes the dish taste too salty.
