Thanks so much, Danish Creamery, for sponsoring this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are truly my own.

It’s no secret I absolutely love Cajun flavors! Every time I go to a restaurant, I always order a Cajun pasta dish or seafood dish. My family is also a fan of Cajun food! And on occasion, my 4-year-old son will request that I add a little bit more Cajun seasoning to his food!

When I mentioned that I was making these Cajun Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp Skewers, my kids were thrilled! These grilled shrimp skewers are seasoned perfectly and packed with so much flavor, thanks to this amazing Cajun garlic butter sauce.

What makes this Cajun garlic butter sauce so amazing is the Danish Creamery European-Style Sea Salt Butter! Danish Creamery is named after its heritage of Danish founding farmers and has a history of producing high-quality butter from the fresh cream provided by cows grazing on its family farms.

This European Style Butter contains 85% butterfat (much higher than most other European Style butters which come in at 82-83%) which makes it a dream to bake with and cook with!

How To Make Cajun Garlic Butter Sauce

To make to make the Cajun garlic butter sauce, simply melt one stick of Danish Creamery European-Style Sea Salt Butter, and add in a serving of Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Whisk together and reserve half of the sauce for basting the shrimp.

How to Make Cajun Grilled Shrimp Skewers

If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before grilling. This helps to prevent the skewers from burning on the grill.

Next, place your shrimp in a large bowl. For this recipe, I used fresh, deveined shrimp, but you can certainly use frozen shrimp. Pour half of the Cajun garlic butter sauce over the shrimp, along with 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Toss to coat the shrimp in the sauce and skewer the shrimp onto the skewers.

Heat the grill to med-high heat. Place each shrimp skewer onto the grill, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp is no longer translucent and a bit charred.

Brush the remaining Cajun garlic butter sauce over the shrimp skewers and serve with lemon slices, if desired. (optional). If the remaining sauce has solidified, just pop it into the microwave for about 15 seconds to melt it.

These Cajun Garlic Butter Grilled Shrimp Skewers are amazingly good and very easy to make! Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
