These zippy shrimp bring a lot of pizazz to the table. Use as much or as little cayenne pepper as you'd like, depending on your family's tastes. We love ours served alongside rice pilaf. -Donna Thomason, El Paso, Texas

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking. - Be sure to devein and peel the shrimp before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the shrimp and make them more enjoyable to eat. - Season the shrimp generously with Cajun seasoning. This will give them a delicious, spicy flavor. - Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If the shrimp are too crowded, they will not cook evenly. - Bake the shrimp at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to keep them juicy and prevent them from becoming overcooked. - Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

This Cajun shrimp bake is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp are flavorful and juicy, and the sauce is rich and creamy. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
