Quick and Easy Blackened Shrimp Recipe with Homemade Cajun Seasoning

Red’s Nutrition Tip

This blackened shrimp are a great source of protein. To create a more balanced meal, I suggest serving them with a source of complex carbohydrates, such as rice, some fiber, in the form of vegetables, and additional healthy fats, such as oil, dressing, or avocado.

Serving Suggestions

Not only is blackened shrimp easy to make but it’s incredibly versatile. The cooked shrimp can be eaten on its own, with a dip, layered into tacos, wrapped in burritos, served in lettuce wraps, made into rice bowls, topped onto pasta, or topped onto your favorite salad for a quick, easy, and absolutely delicious meal.Bowl with rice, black beans, bell peppers, avocado and blackened shrimp with cilantro and lime wedges.

Storage + Reheating

To Refrigerate: Allow the blackened shrimp to cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

To Freeze: Once cooled, place the cooked shrimp in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

To Reheat: For the best results, once thawed, reheat the shrimp in a pan with a bit of oil on the stovetop on low-medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until warm. They can also be reheated in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
