Blackened Shrimp Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This dish packs the most flavor with the least amount of effort and time. Blackening seasoning is found in cajun cooking and is typically made from a mixture of chili powders, herbs, and spices, then rubbed on proteins (such as chicken and shrimp) to create a spicy and piquant flavor profile. This recipe calls for chili powder and cayenne as the spicy components. However, consider adding 1/8 teaspoon ghost pepper powder to your blend to up the spice even more Serve this dish alongside red beans and rice, risotto, or on top of a green salad. You could also easily switch to chicken breast, just up the cook time.
