- 1 1/2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning <click for homemade
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
- Pat shrimp dry. Add to a large bowl and toss with 1 1 /2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning.
- Melt one tablespoon butter in one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Increase heat to medium-high. Once very hot and sizzling, add half the shrimp in a single layer and cook approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or just until opaque and cooked through.

- Either use the Lemon Parsley Butter as a dip or add the shrimp back to the skillet and stir to evenly coat. Taste and season with salt, pepper, cayenne and/or lemon juice to taste.
