Sensational Baked Blackened Shrimp Forrest Gump comes to mind when I think of shrimp.  Because it’s true that it can be prepared so many different ways.  This Sensational Baked Blackened Shrimp recipe is not only quick and easy, it’s healthy and delicious too!

Sensational Baked Blackened Shrimp I’ve been up to my eyeballs in baked desserts lately.  I guess our leaving Santa Claus a plate of cookies has morphed into a full dessert buffet. We do have a sweet tooth but after a while, you just get to feeling sick from overindulging.  I don’t even have to eat that much.  Just being around all of it becomes too much.  This is a Sensational Baked Blackened Shrimp recipe perfect for a quick and healthy reset.

Sensational Baked Blackened Shrimp Shrimp is great having on hand.  Here in the midwest, we buy it two ways.  Frozen or previously frozen so I usually have it in my freezer year round.  When I serve it as an appetizer it’s one of the first dishes to disappear and I love using it in salads, tacos or pasta.    Our Blackened Seasoning is the perfect spice combination for these shrimp too.

We enjoyed this shrimp so much and it’s so easy to make and take for entertaining like a New Years get-together or Superbowl party.  It’s always good to have a balance of things to serve and shrimp is a great contrast to chips and dips or sweets.  Baking them assures that they aren’t going to get overcooked.  That’s my favorite way to cook them too.

Now just like in Forrest Gump, there are a ton of shrimp recipes.  Here are a few of my favorites!

  1. Wow! This is definitely a sight for sore eyes Julie! I can't believe those were frozen, I love how large they are. I was just preparing a post for this week and funny how I mention in my post that I had frozen shrimp in the freezer, but not anything like the size on your plate :) Maybe I just didn't look at the larger ones. Love anything blackened, well done!

    • Thank you, Loretta! I've started looking for those larger ones because they cook up so nicely and they're definitely a meal. We must have been channeling shrimp vides to each other LOL!
