Yields1 Serving
Prep Time30 minsCook Time6 minsTotal Time36 mins
 500 g shrimp
 2 tbsp gin
 1 yellow bellpepper
 ½ lime, juiced
 2 tbsp olive oil
 1 tbsp garlic powder
 2 tbsp smoked paprika
 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
 1 tsp dried oregano
 1 tsp dried thyme
 1 tsp Italian seasoning
 1 tsp salt
 1 tbsp black pepper
1

First, put all the spices together and mix them in a bowl.

2

Now, slice up your yellow bell pepper.

3

Marinate your shrimps and bell pepper with the mixed spices, the gin and lime juice. Use about 1-2 tablespoons of the spice mix, or as much as you prefer. You can add some olive oil to the marinade if you want to.

I used Dresdner Gin from the brand Augustus Rex. It is a strong spirit, so you can taste it, even when the shrimp are cooked and the gin's citrus and herb notes fit in perfectly with the popular seafood.

4

Put the rest of the spice mix in an airtight container and use it whenever you cook something that should have the typical Cajun taste.

5

After refrigerating the marinated shrimps for 20 minutes, put some olive oil in a skillet and heat it up. Cook the shrimps and the bell pepper for around six minutes. Done! I served the shrimps with a freshly baked bread and some lime.
