Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, from 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun spice
- Kosher salt
- 1 pound large shrimp (10 to15 per pound), peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, for serving
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Cajun spice
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- For the shrimp: Add the lemon juice, olive oil, Cajun spice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them in the spice mixture. Allow the shrimp to marinate while you make the remoulade. Do not marinate shrimp longer than 20 minutes.
- For the remoulade: Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun spice, ketchup, mustard, parsley, lemon zest and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a bowl and whisk to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp in an even layer. Allow the shrimp to cook for 2 minutes, then flip them and cook until they are just opaque and the tails are pink, about another minute. Remove the shrimp to a serving platter, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve with remoulade.

Really easy and delicious. I used low sodium Cajun seasoning and added to taste along with a little salt as needed. Also added a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the shrimp marinade which amped it up a notch. Dinner party hit.
i made this for super bowl and it was awesome.
There is plenty of flavor in both the shrimp and sauce. I do recommend using Cajun spice without the salt. Its perfect!

Great recipe! Made a couple times! This time I used old bay seasoning and added some Cajun spices to Kick it up a little in the marinade and sauce! So good
This recipe is a keeper! The marinade for the shrimp is delicious as well as the sauce. Got raves from my hubby and company. Nice change from your usual shrimp cocktail.
I used Tony Chachere’s NO SALT cajun seasoning and it was perfect.

Don’t use Tony Chachere’s. Way too salty. On the shrimp and the remoulade
The shrimp marinade was excellent. Unfortunately,the remoulade was very salty. Either it should have been 1t, or I bought cheap Cajun spice. I’m guessing the latter
Looks delicious, cant wait to try this.
Very good. I’ve made this several times and the last time, I dumped the marinade in the pan with the shrimp as I cooked it and it was quite good. I cut the remoulade in half — it’s very tasty but makes a lot.
This was delicious. I used smaller shrimp so I had to adjust the length of marinating and cook time. Will make a part of my permanent collection of recipes.
I made the grilled shrimp with the marinade, and remoulade sauce. It was so yummy!!!
