Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tails on
- 1 stick Danish Creamery European-Style Sea Salt Butter, melted
- 3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Skewers
- Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Soak: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Mix: In a bowl, whisk together the Danish Creamery European-Style melted butter, 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning, parsley, garlic, and lemon juice. Reserve half of the Cajun garlic butter sauce for basting.
- Coat: Place shrimp in a large bowl and pour half of the Cajun garlic butter sauce over the shrimp, followed by 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Toss to combine all of the ingredients.
- Skewer: Thread the shrimp onto the skewers and place them on a sheet pan.
- Grill: Heat the grill to med-high heat. Place each shrimp skewer onto the grill, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is no longer translucent and a bit charred.
- Baste: Brush the remaining Cajun garlic butter sauce over the shrimp skewers and serve with lemon slices, if desired.
Notes
If the remaining sauce solidified, microwave it for about 15 seconds to melt it.
