Instructions
- 01
In a large bowl, combine the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme and cayenne pepper.
- 02
Add the shrimp to the bowl, and toss to coat them in the spices.
- 03
In a large cast-iron or heavy-duty skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp. Cook and stir the shrimp until they turn pink and their edges are browned. Serve the blackened shrimp with lemon wedges. Editor's Tip: Cooking time will vary depending on the shrimp size. Shrimp are finished cooking when they turn pink with no signs of gray. The tails will curl up into a C shape.

- Use premade seasoning: To save time, feel free to use a store-bought seasoning blend.
