Cajun Grilled Shrimp

I have said it many times this summer that we love grilling. I especially love grilling quick and easy meals. I have been craving shrimp even though I am not the biggest fan. I wanted a little spiciness to the shrimp and this was packed full of flavor. This dish comes together fast and is a great weekday meal. What's not to love.

I served the shrimp with grilled corn which was a wonderful combination together. Enjoy!!
