This dish is incredibly simple to whip up and packs a delightful burst of flavors. Make sure to stick to the recipe ingredients, but feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste buds. Adjust the amount of oil and butter based on the size of your pan. Coat the shrimp well with the seasoning before frying them to your desired level of doneness. Get ready to indulge in a delicious meal - I'm confident you'll love it!

Perfect for making blackened shrimp tacos. I added some minced garlic, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The seasoning holds up well in the refrigerator for a few days, ideal for making another batch of tacos.
