This is the best cajun shimp recipe I have encountered. The dish has a REAL good balance of favor and heat. I have added this to my recipe box. This has moved to #1 cajun shrimp dish.

My favorite Cajun restaurant here in Phoenix closed and this recipe was very close to what they made. I sauted diced onions and celery with the butter and olive oil. I made enough to have leftovers, but my family would not let that happen. This recipe is a keeper.

This is reminiscent of the BBQ shrimp I used to get at the S&P Oyster Bar in St. Louis in the '80's and '90's! Be careful not to get the fire too hot or you'll burn the herbs. I think adding some cool, cooked rice at the end would be the perfect finish to a great dish!
