Grilled Cajun Shrimp

Enjoy The Flavor and Aroma of Spicy Grilled Shrimp

Grilled Cajun Shrimp

This is an easy Cajun recipe. Grilled Cajun Shrimp have a great spicy flavor. The best way to cook shrimp on the grill is to thread the shrimp onto skewers, otherwise they tend to fall between the grates of the grill.
Shrimp cooks very quickly. If you over cook the shrimp they get very tough. Since grills differ in heat output it is difficult to give you accurate cooking times. We have listed an average cooking time for them below in the preparation section.

 

 

 

It's best to grill shrimp quickly but not over too high of a heat. They are done when the entire outside surface has changed color. There are a wide variety of shrimp and most shrimp you buy starts out grey in color and turns pink as it cooks.

Once the skin surface of the shrimp shows a pink color overall it's done. So if you are looking for a delicious grilled appetizer, Cajun shrimp should definitely be on your menu.
