Spicy Cajun Shrimp Boil

Prepare the Boiling Liquid: In a large pot, bring the water or seafood broth to a boil. Add Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Cook the Corn: Add the halved corn and lemon slices to the pot. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the corn starts to soften.

Cook the Shrimp: Toss in the shrimp and butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are fully cooked.

Let it Rest: Remove from heat and let the mixture sit for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve and Garnish: Transfer to a serving bowl or enjoy straight from the pot. Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
