Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Once the shrimp are cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, fresh lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using). Toss gently to coat the shrimp.

Transfer the Cajun shrimp to a serving platter. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley.

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, grits, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
