Shrimp Po’ Boys

Sometimes when it comes to dinner I just want something that takes minimal effort. This meal was on the table in less than 10 minutes and yet it was delicious! When I know I have meals that require some kind of sauce, I generally prep and make the sauce the night before, which is exactly what I did with this sandwich. Not only does it make dinner a breeze the next day, but the flavors of the sauce generally marry very well together and make it that much flavorful! The sauce is definitely the star of the dish, so don’t leave it out!

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a large nonstick  skillet over medium-high heat. Combine shrimp and Cajun seasoning in a bowl; toss well. Add olive oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add shrimp to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until done.
