Part 2/5:
For the shrimp component of the dish, begin with just under one pound of shrimp, ensuring they are patted dry for optimal searing. Toss the shrimp in a drizzle of olive oil, season with Cajun seasoning, truffle salt, and ground black pepper. After mixing thoroughly, it’s time to sear the shrimp.
Cooking the Shrimp
Heat a skillet with a little oil and add in your seasoned shrimp. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, ensuring they maintain a tender texture rather than becoming rubbery. Once they turn a nice pink color, they're ready to be removed from the skillet and set aside. Keeping the tails on not only looks appealing but also adds to the dish’s visual allure, though they can be removed if preferred.
