1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
Shrimp
2 pounds extra large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup butter, cubed and at room temperature
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley (Optional)
6 lemon wedges (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, oregano, pepper, cayenne pepper, and thyme in a small bowl. Pat shrimp dry and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning mixture and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Place shrimp in a single layer on a sheet pan without overcrowding.
Cook in the preheated oven until shrimp are opaque in the middle, about 8 minutes. Immediately add butter to the hot pan and toss with shrimp until butter is melted. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired and serve with lemon wedges.
