Cajun shrimp

Chatelaine Triple Tested

Five simple ingredients are all it takes to put together this laid-back supper sauté.

Ingredients

  • 340-g bag frozen peeled cooked shrimp, medium or large

  • 2 tbsp garlic butter, or 2 tbsp butter with 1 minced garlic clove

  • 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Rinse frozen shrimp with cold running water to remove any ice crystals. It's not necessary to thaw. Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium-high. Add red pepper. Stir-fry until it begins to soften, about 3 min.

  • Add shrimp and Cajun seasoning. Continue to stir-fry just until shrimp are completely thawed and hot, 4 to 6 min. Stir in green onions. Serve with rice alongside a crisp green salad.
