Black Shrimp

1. 1

   First- turn on the kitchen fan an/or open a window- there may soome smoke when you make this and you don't want to have to stop in the middle to go turn off the fire alarm.

2. 2

   Heat a large, deep skillet over fairly high heat (medium high on an electric stove).

3. 3

   Melt butter (if you like a little more, go ahead- just so long as it is real butter, not margarine or spread) but be quick as you don't want it to burn.

4. 4

   Immediately toss in the shrimp and start stirring very quickly with a slotted spoon to coat with butter.

5. 5

   With your free hand, shake Cajun seasoning liberally to coat all sides of the shrimp- as much as you like.

6. 6

   I go very heavy on the seasoning because I like it very hot.

7. 7

   Let shrimp sit without stirring for 1 minute, then quickly turn over and cook another minute- the goal here is to get the shrimp golden brown.

8. 8

   Immediately toss into a serving bowl and serve as an appetizer with toothpicks.

9. 9

   This may take a little trial& error to get the seasonings the way you like it- I absolutely do not measure this at all.

10. 10

    I use Paul Prudhomme's Cajun Seasoning but you can use any brand you like.
