Citrus Shrimp Baked with Jalapeno Peppers
I created this recipe after purchasing some monstrous prawns from the market, combined with a bit of a sweet tooth, hence the cinnamon. Don’t overdo it, though, as you want the jalapeno flavor to come out, as well as the Cajun seasonings.
Ingredients
- 1 pound prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped into rings
- 12 stalks asparagus
- 1 large orange, zested and sliced
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasonings
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Cooking Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, add prawns, olive oil, Cajun seasonings, cinnamon, ground black pepper and half the orange zest. Toss to coat the shrimp.
- To a medium sized baking dish, add in this order; asparagus, jalapeno slices, coated prawns, then top with about half of the orange slices.
- Bake about 20 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through – pink and opaque.
- Transfer meal to 2 dishes. Top with remaining orange zest and orange slices.
- Serve!
