ADVERTISEMENT

Serving: Serve the shrimp directly in the foil tray for a rustic, easy-going presentation. You can also pair it with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad.

Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the shrimp.

Variations:
Add Vegetables: Add some sliced bell peppers, onions, or zucchini to the foil tray for a one-pan meal.

Spicy Option: Adjust the amount of hot sauce to make the shrimp spicier, or use a spicier Cajun seasoning blend.

Grilled Shrimp: For an outdoor twist, grill the shrimp instead of baking them for a smoky flavor.

FAQ:
Q1: Can I use frozen shrimp?
Yes, you can use frozen shrimp for this recipe. Just make sure to thaw them thoroughly before marinating and cooking.

Q2: What if I don’t have Cajun seasoning?
You can make your own Cajun seasoning by combining paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

Q3: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
You can prepare and season the shrimp ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. This will allow the flavors to marinate even more.
