- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to use large shrimp for this recipe, as they will hold up better during cooking and provide a meatier texture.
- If you don't have Cajun seasoning on hand, you can make your own by combining equal parts paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they turn pink and are no longer translucent.

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with the spice mixture until evenly coated.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.
4. Serve the shrimp slices hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
