Shrimp, Cajun Style image

I got this recipe from my aunt years ago so I am not sure of it's original origin. I do know that this is the only way I will prepare shrimp now though. You can play around with the spices to make this as spicy or not spicy as you want. Both the grill method and oven turn out great. Enjoy!
