Default Creamy Cajun Shrimp

I didn't have any leftovers, so I had to come up with something for lunch today. This was really great, if I do say so myself! It was as good as any cajun shrimp I've had in a restaurant. Give it a try if you and let me know what you think! The amounts are all approximate, I just threw it together. Adjust the amounts to suit your own tastes.

Creamy Cajun Shrimp

1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled & deveined
3 T unsalted butter, divided
1/2 T olive oil
paprika
ground red pepper (cayenne)
garlic powder
onion powder
salt & pepper
oregano
juice of 1/2 lemon
2 T heavy cream
chopped parsley

Season the shrimp liberally with the spices above. You can also add a few drops Tobasco to make it hotter. Melt 2 T of the butter and the olive in a large skillet over med-high heat. When very hot, just before the butter browns, add shrimp, one at a time, to the pan. Don't over crowd the pan. Do not move them. When the edges begin to turn opaque, 1-2 minutes, turn the shrimp over and turn the heat down to medium an cook until just done. Remove to a plate and keep warm. Lower the heat to low and add remaning 1 T butter, lemon juice and heavy cream. Swirl until thickened and pour over the shrimp and toss. Top with chopped fresh parsley and serve.

It was very fast. The longest part was peeling the shrimp!

Made this for dinner tonight. Added chunks of cod and some precooked broccoli, which required a little more "sauce". Sprinkled parmesan cheese on top when it was done. Tasted pretty good. My husband and son ate it, too. Will make again.
