Cajun Shrimp With Coffee

Are you ready for an amazing spicy cajun shrimp recipe? You won’t regret it!

You don’t always have to drink your coffee – you can eat it too! Coffee makes for a great ingredient in seasoning rubs. It gives the food a nice smoky flavor. So, in honor of National Coffee Day, here is some spicy, cajun coffee shrimp using my “Cup of Joe” southwest seasoning rub.

And best thing about rubs is that you can always customize to your liking – adding more or less of a certain ingredient. Translation – it’s easy for you to be creative!

Eating shrimps more than twice a week can be very healthful. It has a variety of health benefits because it’s full of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidant astaxanthin and iodine.

You’ll want to start by placing all ingredients for the Cup o’ Joe rub in a blender. Add coffee beans, smoked paprika, cumin, coconut sugar, cayenne and allspice and blend until coffee beans are semi-blended. Be careful with the coffee, it can be too strong and spoil the taste.

Cover shrimps with 1.5 tablespoon of the rub and olive oil by your hands to ensure every shrimp is fully covered. Set your favorite skillet to medium-high heat. Add olive oil and shrimps, then stir. Make sure shrimps are not sticking to the skillet and both sides are cooked equally. Season with sea salt and pepper.

Cook until the shrimp turn pink. When it’s fully cooked, take out and serve. Garnish with parsley and lemon juice. Eat while still hot with a fresh salad or make cajun shrimp pasta.
