If you are searching for something different for lunch, why not try this grilled or lightly sautéed shrimp recipe? I was able to purchase USA grown shrimp and added just 2 ingredients to create a delicious lean protein to use in salads, wraps, etc. These shrimp take just a few minutes to cook-just allow time to peel and devein them before cooking unless you purchase peeled shrimp. I used a generic cajun seasoning, so feel free to utilize your favorite brand or you could even use jerk seasoning if you cannot find a cajun seasoning in your local market.
