Ingredients:
3/4 cup canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
2 lbs uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup butter, cubed
1 teaspoon minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon minced fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 drops hot pepper sauce
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Place the shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag; add half of the marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the Cajun butter ingredients; heat until butter is melted. Keep warm.
3. Drain and discard marinade. Thread shrimp onto eight metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink, basting once with reserved marinade. Serve with Cajun butter.
