A flavorful and easy-to-make shrimp dish with a Cajun twist.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
Use a pot large enough to accommodate all the ingredients comfortably.
Add the lemon slices, onion slices, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, and Cajun seasoning to the boiling water. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes.
Shrimp cook quickly, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
Remove the pot from heat and immediately add the ice and salt. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes.
The ice stops the cooking process and helps the shrimp absorb the seasoning.
Drain the shrimp and serve them warm or chilled. Enjoy your flavorful Cajun shrimp!
Serve with lemon wedges or a dipping sauce for added zest.
