1. Season Shrimp: Pat shrimp dry. Add to a large bowl and toss with 1 ½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning.
2. Cook Shrimp: Melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Increase heat to medium-high. Once very hot and sizzling, add half the shrimp in a single layer and cook approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or just until opaque and cooked through. Transfer shrimp to a plate and repeat with remaining shrimp.
3. Make Lemon Garlic Butter: To the now empty skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the parsley and lemon juice and stir to combine.
4. Serve: Either use the Lemon Parsley Butter as a dip or add the shrimp back to the skillet and stir to evenly coat. Taste and season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and/or lemon juice to taste.

Notes:

• Shrimp: You can use fresh or frozen shrimp for this recipe. If using frozen, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
• Cajun Seasoning: Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preferred spice level.
• Lemon Garlic Parsley Butter: This is optional, but it adds a delicious flavor to the shrimp.
• Remoulade: This is also optional, but it’s a great dipping sauce for the shrimp.
• Serving Suggestions: Serve this shrimp as an appetizer with toothpicks, as a main course with rice and vegetables, or add it to your favorite dishes, such as pasta or salads.
