Cajun Grilled Shrimp

I picked up some fresh shrimp at our local health food store. This is how I cooked it...

What You Need

1 lb Shrimp (feeds 4 people)
lemon juice
Cajun Seasoning mix

Directions

Rinse shrimp and marinate in lemon juice. (You don't need to marinate too long just 5-20 minutes). Sprinkle one side of shrimp with seasoning, place shrimp seasoned side down on the grill (or the George Foreman Grill like I did) then season the other side. If you like it spicy use a good coating of the seasoning, if you like it more mild then only sprinkle on a little bit. Cook for around 4 minutes each side, or until shrimp turns pink on the outside and white on the inside, and is firm to the touch. If cooking smaller shrimp on a large grill you might want to place the shrimp on a skewer so that they don't fall between the grill spaces. Enjoy with a side of veggies, and some rice. (We actually ate ours with fried plantains and roasted veggies).
