Ingredients
For Cajun Skewers shrimp
1lblarge shrimppeeled and deveined, but with tail on
Soak the wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling (It will avoid burning of the sticks).
In a large bowl add shrimp, olive oil, garlic and Cajun seasoning. Mix everything together.
Skewer 5 shrimp on each damp skewer.
Gas grill: If you need to clean the grates, use a steel grill brush to do so. Then, dip a wad of paper towel into cooking oil and wipe the grates. This step is important to prevent the shrimp from sticking to the grates. Turn all burners on medium-high, cover, and heat the grill until it reaches 450 degrees F.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimps are pink and fully cooked.

Notes
Always pat dry the shrimp before using it so the olive oil and seasoning will stick better to the shrimp.
I recommend using larger shrimp as they're easier to skewer.
Buying peeled and deveined shrimp is a great time saver.
To store: Store leftover shrimp in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Remove the shrimp from the skewers before storing them.
To reheat: You can reheat this Cajun shrimp in the microwave.
