cajun shrimp

This recipe is so simple and so easy to throw together. It only takes about 20-30 minutes from start to finish. It has the perfect kick of heat from the cajun seasoning and the bell peppers and parsley give it color and freshness. If you’re making for kids or you don’t like a lot of heat you can try half the cajun seasoning at first and see if that works.
