Mardi Gras Shrimp is a spicy, saucy cajun shrimp recipe. You start with butter, onions, peppers and garlic get the party started, then you add some seasonings and sauces… then once the sauce comes together you throw in your shrimp for just a few minutes to cook them.
Make sure to serve with some good dipping bread to sop up this sauce!

Recipe Note
NOTE- it took almost 10 minutes to cook on my pellet grill, but if you do it over direct heat or on the stove it will take a lot less. Just watch them shrimps close and don’t overcook them! You want them to “pop” and not be chewy.
