Use store-bought or homemade Cajun seasoning and pair with your favorite starch and vegetable for dinner in 15 minutes or less.  Meggan’s notes As a classically-trained chef and busy mother of three, I have lots of experience pulling together flavorful meals fast.Sometimes all you need is a good spice blend in your back pocket to make dinner time a breeze.

A combination of butter and olive oil infuses ensures the shrimp cook up tender without scorching, and garlic adds warmth and depth of flavor.The secret, though, is the Cajun seasoning.You can obviously buy a blend at the store, but the homemade version is made with common spices and nothing exotic.

Make your own Cajun seasoning blend with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, Italian seasoning, and salt.Add cayenne pepper for heat, or leave it out if you want something mild.Make a big jar and keep it in the pantry for up to 6 months, if it even lasts that long!
