A flavorful and easy-to-make shrimp dish with a Cajun twist, perfect for a quick dinner.
Combine all the spices in a small bowl to create the Cajun spice mix.
Make extra spice mix and store it in an airtight container for future use.
Coat the shrimp evenly with the Cajun spice mix.
Let the shrimp sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the shrimp to get a good sear.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp as they can become rubbery.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Keep the shrimp warm by covering them with foil.
In the same skillet, sauté the bell pepper, onion, tomato, and garlic until tender.
Add a splash of water if the vegetables start to stick to the skillet.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss with the vegetables to combine.
Ensure everything is evenly mixed and heated through.
Serve the shrimp and vegetables hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with rice, pasta, or a side salad for a complete meal.
