Equipment

  • 1 Large Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz. shrimp peeled, deveined, tail on
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons of Cavender's all-purpose Greek seasoning
  • Juice of half a large lemon
  • 1/2 stick of unsalted butter
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

  • First, lay the fresh shrimp in a clean sink to season.
  • Second, add the onion powder, garlic powder, and Cavender's seasoning in a small bowl and mix ingredients well.
  • Third, sprinkle the seasoning blend on both sides of the shrimp.
  • Then take the butter and place into a large cast iron skillet and put on medium heat.
  • Once the butter has melted, place the seasoned shrimp into the skillet. Make sure that the shrimp are in a single layer. You don't want them to steam, you want them to get some color.
  • While the shrimp are cooking, go ahead and make the rice in the microwave. (It only takes 90 seconds and tastes GREAT!)
  • Once the shrimp have cooked for about 2 minutes on one side, flip them over and let them cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Take the rice out of the microwave package and layer on your serving dish.
  • Take half of the lemon and squeeze the juice onto the shrimp in the skillet.
  • Then, pour the shrimp and lemon, butter on top of the rice.
  • Finally, top with chopped green onion and serve while hot! (garlic bread would be so good with this!)
