Cajun Grilled Shrimp Skewers

Ingredients

• 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1/2 teaspoon honey
• Skewers
• Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice and honey.

3. 3

   Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels. Thread the shrimp onto skewers and place them on a sheet pan. Brush some of the Cajun flavored butter on both sides of the shrimp.

4. 4

   Heat the grill to high. Grill each shrimp skewer over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping as soon as the first side begins to turn pink. Cook until the shrimp is no longer translucent and a bit charred.

5. 5

   Remove from the grill and brush with the remaining Cajun flavored butter. Serve garnished with lemon slices (optional).
