Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the peeled and deveined shrimp with Cajun seasoning. Let marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Once melted, add the onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Stir in the tomato paste with the sautéed vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then, add Worcestershire sauce, chicken or seafood stock, thyme, and oregano. Let simmer for about 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens.
- In a separate skillet, drizzle olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer. Sear for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
- Add the cooked shrimp to the sauce in the first skillet. Stir gently and let simmer together for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve the shrimp and sauce over cooked rice, grits, or bread. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes
Feel free to adjust spices according to your taste preferences. Keep cooked shrimp separate from the sauce for optimal texture when storing leftovers.
