Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1 lb large shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While shrimp marinates, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp hot sauce, 2 tbsp minced green onions, and 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley in a small bowl until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread shrimp onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred.
  4. Step 4: Serve grilled shrimp immediately with the Louisiana remoulade sauce on the side for dipping.
