These cajun shrimp are inspired by the flavours of southern america and are so easy to make - perfect for serving up as a starter or with rice, veg or fries as a quick delicious dinner!
We pair this with a zesty cajun dipping sauce - but it can be paired with any sauce you like.
We cook these in the air fryer which saves on cooking time & calories but does NOT scrimp on flavour - and even better, its GLUTEN FREE!
Try using this coating for chicken, fish, or even vegetables such as courgette, or even corn!
