Cajun Butter Garlic Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro Lime Avocado Sauce

Grilled cajun seasoned butter garlic shrimp on a stick with cilantro lime avocado dipping sauce!

Grilled meat on a stick is one of the best things about summer and this cajun butter garlic grilled shrimp is a great option! I often make blackened cajun seasoned shrimp in a cast iron pan and grilling it is even better! This recipe is so easy to make! The shrimp is seasoned with a homemade cajun seasoning before it is grilled on the barbecue! You really can’t go wrong with the shrimp in a lemon garlic-butter sauce and this grilled shrimp is brushed with one after grilling! If this wasn’t already the best, the grilled shrimp is served with a simple avocado dipping sauce! Yum! This cajun butter garlic grilled shrimp with cilantro lime avocado sauce makes for a great summer appetizer/snack/finger food or even a light meal!

So good!
