Cajun Garlic Butter Shrimp

I was in the mood for shrimp and came across this recipe – Cajun Garlic Butter Shrimp – on Alyssa River’s site The Recipe Critic. It’s simple and quick to make and yet has some very complex flavors. I served it with faro which went well with the sauce. Rice goes well too.

Ingredients:

1. ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce

2. 2 Tablespoons brown sugar

3. 2 Tablespoons olive oil

4. 1 Tablespoon whole grain mustard

5. 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

6. 2 garlic cloves, minced

7. 2 tablespoons butter

8. 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

9. Black pepper

10. Sliced green onions, for garnish

Mix the first six ingredients together in a bowl to make the sauce. Put the butter in a frying pan on high heat. When it melts, add the sauce and let it reduce for a few minutes.

Add the shrimp to the pan and sprinkle with black pepper. Stir and cook for a few minutes until the shrimp is done. Garnish with the chopped green onions. Really good and easy to make.

Also good with snow peas and rice.
