If you bought shrimp in shells, make sure to shell and devein the shrimp first.

Pat clean shrimp dry with a paper towel and add them to a mixing bowl. Coat with 1 tbsp olive oil and toss until evenly coated.

In another small bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the blackening seasoning.

Sprinkle blackening seasoning over the shrimp as you gently mix. Make sure that shrimp is evenly coated in seasoning.

Preheat a cooking pan over medium-high heat. (Make sure that the pan is completely preheated before adding shrimp.)

Add 1 tbsp olive oil, then add seasoned shrimp. Make sure the shrimp are in one even layer.

Cook shrimp until pink and opaque on one side and then flip to the other side. Cook shrimp just until they are pink and opaque on that side as well. Depending on the size, shrimp will take 4-7 minutes to cook altogether.

Take them out of the pan as soon and they're cooked and serve in tacos, on salad, in pasta or with your favorite sides!
