Cajun Shrimp
Description
The secret to this dish lies in choosing a Cajun seasoning that is not too salty, with just the right balance of sweet spice and heat. I use Paul Prudhomme’s “Seafood Magic,” a great Cajun blend from the famous New Orleans chef, but you can experiment with other brands or make your own. If you have frozen shrimp on hand, you can whip up this recipe for unexpected guests in no time. Enjoy an apéritif while the shrimp roast in the oven.Ingredients

Additional Tips
The slightly sweet peachiness of a California Moscato cools the palate from the mild heat of this dish.
