Cook the Shrimp
- 150g Shrimp
- 1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning

In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until opaque and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
