Blackened Shrimp

   
Blackened Shrimp


At Central Market yesterday, I was given a sample plate with steak, shrimp, and a salad. The shrimp had the below spice rub on it. Of course, I bought the shrimp, the seasoning and the salad dressing. I past on the steak. I had to show some restraint!

Citrus Dill Salmon Rub


Marston's SAN PASQUAL Salad Dressing


NOTE: These are not used in this recipe - just added them to show my consumer decisions!
Plus, this dressing is so delish and meets my requirements of 10g or under for fat and sugar. I just had to share it. 

I decided today that I'd save the seasoning for something else (like maybe salmon) and test kitchen with the blackened chicken recipe I tried a back in February.

Boy, did it turn out amazing. Sometimes this girl can cook. REAL GOOD!
