The Best Cajun Shrimp Cocktail

Cajun shrimp that’s delicious, packed with flavor, and only takes 15 minutes to make is the perfect dinner. The shrimp is pan fried after marinating in cajun seasoning then it’s served with a spicy homemade cocktail sauce and fresh lemon juice.

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 lb Shrimp raw medium, peeled with tails left on
