Cajun Shrimp Skillet
There’s plenty of sauce with these shrimp—I always have some bread on the side to soak it up. Make it your own by using your favorite amber beer or flavorful broth. —Mark Oppe, North Pole, Alaska

I omitted the red pepper flakes and the cayenne and substituted cajun seasoning...We loved it..served over white rice..
This was delicious! Very tasty and easy to make. I served it over rice and my family loved it. Some members of my family thought it was a bit too spicy, so I will adjust those spices when I make this again.
my girlfriend made me this recipe and she put it in a PO BOY !!!! YUMMMMMM.com
This was too spicy for us. Realizing this is how Cajun shrimp is supposed to be, this is just a preference (or rather lack of) on my part. If I were to make it again I would definitely leave out either the cayenne or the crushed red pepper flakes or both.
I made this for dinner last night. Wow!! They loved it and wished there was more! It definitely has some fire to it, but they cannot wait for me to make it again!
Doubled the recipe for company... wished I had TRIPLED it! They gobbled it down! VERY good, fast cooking. I used beef broth instead of the beer and offered the Cayenne at the table rather than adding it in, as I wasn't sure of my guests' taste for spicy. The dish without cayenne is equally good, has more of an Italian flair to it! I can't say which version I preferred! Served both Grits and Couscous. This dish is a WINNER!
Delicious and so easy and quick to put together. I used the shrimp to top a large salad and it was awsome. The spice amounts were balanced perfectly. I will definitely make this again and perhaps serve it with rice the next time.
Delicious! I did find I needed longer cooking time for the uncooked shrimp but they were not tough and we loved the spice.
This recipe is fantastic! It was easy to make once you had everything mise en place. DH & I enjoyed it and would make it again. We used Blue Moon Ale and I subbed Smart Balance margarine for the butter. We had it with a whole grain pilaf instead of grits.
This recipe was delicious. I used a light beer(that's all I had)... and it worked fine to me. I make it with garlic-parm seasoned grits as suggested!!! Fantastic!!!
