1. Ingredients
- 500g – 1kg Large Red Shrimp.
- 3 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tsp paprika (optional for extra heat).
- 50g melted unsalted butter, 1 tbsp olive oil.
- 1 Lemon (wedges), fresh parsley (chopped).
2. Preparation & Cooking
- Prep: Clean the shrimp and butterfly the backs to de-vein. Pat thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy sear.
- Marinate: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, garlic, and Cajun spices. Toss the shrimp in the mixture and let marinate for 15 minutes.
- Grill: * Oven/Air Fryer: Preheat to 200°C. Arrange shrimp in a single layer and roast for 8–10 minutes.
- Charcoal/Stovetop: Grill for 3–4 minutes per side until the shells turn vibrant orange and fragrant.
3. Serving Suggestion
Garnish with chopped parsley and a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Best paired with: Corn on the cob, garlic bread, or a spicy dipping sauce.
Pro Tip: Do not overcook! Red shrimp are prized for their succulent, "melt-in-your-mouth" texture, which is best preserved with a quick, high-heat sear.
