Quick and Easy Cajun Shrimp – perfect for a weeknight meal! You only need about 10 minutes to have this main dish on the table! #shrimp #cajun #quickandeasy

Hey friends! It’s Jamie from Love Bakes Good Cakes! I’m back this month to share another recipe with you! My kiddos started school last week … which means dinnertime was ca-razy!!!! Well, technically all day every day last week was crazy, but who is keeping track?! We’re still working on getting our schedule straight for this school year. For my sanity, I’m hoping it happens sooner rather than later! 😉

Since I know many of you are in the same boat with hectic schedules, I wanted to share one of my family’s favorite quick meals – Quick and Easy Cajun Shrimp. We usually have this with Dirty Rice (if time is really tight, I love Zatarains – otherwise I make it from scratch), a veggie of some kind and some hot buttered rolls or biscuits. Just because time is short, you don’t have to sacrifice flavor … and this meal is big on flavor!
