Don't skimp on shrimp!

If you love shrimp, or even if you like it, this is such a wonderful and easy recipe for the whole family (just make sure you buy enough shrimp, or there will be sad faces around the table!).

1/2 c. olive oil
1 Tbs Cajun Seasoning* (like a Zatarains)
2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley
1 Tbs honey
1 Tbs low sodium soy sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 lb uncooked, de-veined shrimp

Combine everything but the shrimp in a Ziploc bag. Add the shrimp to coat and refrigerate 1 hour (OR you can make this before you go to work in the morning and marinade it all day).

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Bake until the shrimp are cooked through, stirring occasionally. The will be pink and curled up. This takes approximately 10 minutes. Serve over rice or vermicelli or with a nice loaf of French Bread to sop up all the saucy goodness.

Trust me when I say, you will add this to your life's menu and make it again and again and again.


*Try to find one that does not have SALT as the first ingredient.
