Baked Cajun Shrimp with Bell Peppers is a delightful dish that brings the vibrant flavors of Louisiana to your kitchen. This recipe is perfect for those who love a bit of spice and the convenience of a one-pan meal. The origins of Cajun cuisine lie in the French-speaking Acadian people who settled in Louisiana, and it’s known for its bold, spicy flavors. By baking the shrimp with bell peppers in a tin foil packet, you not only lock in moisture and flavor but also make cleanup a breeze. This dish is ideal for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering with friends.
This Baked Cajun Shrimp pairs beautifully with a side of fluffy white rice or a warm, crusty baguette to soak up the flavorful juices. For a lighter option, serve it over a bed of mixed greens or alongside a fresh cucumber and tomato salad. A chilled glass of white wine or a light beer complements the spicy notes of the dish perfectly.
