Notes
- Seasoning. I add extra cajun seasoning at the end because I like it spicy. For a milder taste discard this step.
- Quantities. You can expand the amount of shrimp you cook up to 50 without altering the recipe ingredients.
- Garlic. You can use any garlic puree/minced garlic. Its all about personal preference. Though avoid dried garlic as it’s the moisture from the garlic puree that makes this cajun shrimp so special.
