Step-by-Step Instructions for Spicy Voodoo Shrimp
- Begin by marinating the peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika, and add cayenne pepper if desired. Toss to ensure even coating and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once melted, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and oregano. Gradually stir in the stock and let simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- In a separate skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
- Gently fold the cooked shrimp into the simmering sauce for 1-2 minutes. Serve the Spicy Voodoo Shrimp over rice, grits, or bread, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes
Ensure shrimp are completely thawed and patted dry before marinating to prevent excess moisture. Adjust spice levels to taste and avoid overcooking shrimp to maintain tenderness.
