- It is important that you don’t crowd the skillet. Cook your Cajun shrimp in batches to avoid cooling the pan down and ‘boiling’ the shrimp instead of frying.
- If you notice liquid forming when you start to cook (especially if using defrosted shrimp), tilt then pan and use a spoon to remove the excess water.
- Want to really kick it up a notch? Add more cayenne pepper to make your Cajun Shrimp extra spicy.
- You can also reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning if you don’t like the heat.
- If not following Weight Watchers, you can use oil instead of no-calorie cooking spray to make the paste and fry the shrimp.
