Blackened Shrimp with Kale Caesar salad I have been wanting to make blackened shrimp 🦐 since 2018, just kidding-I'm not sure of the exact date. I think I've been wanting to make blackened shrimp since my husband and I went to a cooking school in New Orleans and bought a jar of their "Joe's Special" spicy cajun spice mixture. The spice mixture smelled fragrant and I couldn't find a use by this date stamp on the jar so I figure I'm good to go with the spicy blackened shrimp. This weeknight dinner could not be easier or more delicious 😋 if you like spicy this is for you. I had the cajun spice mixture in my pantry, but it's easy to find a version of it in your market. I used about a pound of medium shrimp which is enough for 4 people for a starter or 2-3 generous portions for dinner or my usual favorite- enough for 2 with leftovers for lunch. Just a note- a lightly dressed kale salad served under the spicy shrimp adds a nice leafy 🥬 coolin...
