If you’re looking to get dinner on the table in under
30 minutes, then this shrimp skillet dinner will be your new weeknight go-to. The star of this shrimp recipe relies on Cajun seasoning, which adds a bold, smoky flavor to the entire dish. Use the jar you have on hand, or make our easy, homemade Cajun seasoning to use again and again. As far as veggies go, we went with bell peppers, onions, and corn, but any stir-fry vegetable would work here.
When cooking the shrimp, make sure you have a single layer. If you overcrowd the pan, you risk steaming and overcooking, which would lead to sad, rubbery shrimp. Cooking in batches may seem annoying, but shrimp cooks quickly! You only need about 2 to 3 minutes per side for it to turn pink. Bottom line: It’s not that hard, and it’s completely worth it.
