Spicy Cajun Shrimp Skillet is a super fast (15 minute!) and healthy dinner recipe. We love to keep this low carb and serve it with cauliflower rice, but regular rice is delicious, too.
Place the shrimp in a bowl and toss with the Cajun seasoning, oil, salt, and chili flakes. Set aside to marinate while you prep the veggies.
1 ½ lbs shrimp, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon oil, ½ teaspoon sea salt, A pinch of chili flakes
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sear for 2 minutes. Add the peppers and shallots to the pan then cook for 2 more minutes.
2 green bell peppers, 2 small shallots
Push the shrimp to the side of the pan and add the tomato paste. Let the tomato paste caramelize for 2-3 minutes, or until it had darkened and is sweet smelling. Stir it into the shrimp.
2 tablespoon tomato paste
Add the chicken or vegetable stock to the pan and stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
