Notes
Don’t overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly. Remove them as soon as they turn pink to keep them tender.
Preheat the griddle well: A hot Blackstone gives you that perfect sear and slight char on the veggies.
Cook in stages: Always cook shrimp first and remove, then add back at the end to avoid overcooking.
Adjust seasoning: Cajun seasoning levels can vary. Taste and add more if needed.
Use butter for flavor: Adding butter with the veggies gives a richer, restaurant-style taste.
Drain excess moisture from corn: If the frozen corn has ice crystals, shake or pat dry slightly before adding to avoid steaming.
