- How to blacken shrimp in a cast iron pan.
I recommend doing this outside if possible.
If you are cooking at the right temp there will be a lot of smoke, and the seasoning produces a smoke that will burn your eyes, kind of like low grade CS gas.
I use Paul Prudhommes Redfish Magic - it's my go to seasoning for blackening fish, shrimp, or even chicken.
You'll also need some stick butter - I go for the unsalted.
Then shrimp. For this cook I went with the big pink guys.
Get the shrimp seasoned liberally,
Get your cast iron super hot,
Throw some butter in and your first batch of shrimp.
Flip after maybe a minute and a half or so,
Add some butter, another minute and a half or so.
Pull them off.
Do your next batch.
Take the cast iron off the heat, add the rest of the butter and throw all the shrimp back in the cast iron and serve.
The shrimp will continue to cook at first until the cast iron starts cooling so it's not recommended to overcook during the first part of the cook.

Que rico me encanta 😋
That sear is absolutely fantastic
Nothing beats a hot cast iron for a good sear! Wouldn't use anything else for blackening.
I just cooked shrimp and they stuck to my cast iron. Perhaps I did not heat the skillet hot enough? It's pretty well seasoned/smooth. Need to get this right. Cleaning it afterwards sucked.
It needs to be very very hot. I never cook this inside due to the smoke produced. Also a very liberal use of butter. I’ve never had shrimp stick doing it like this. Really I don’t have anything stick in my cast but I’ve used all of it a ton.
Lego star wars vibe 😂
Its such a blessing to see Caucasian people season they food with things other than salt and pepper thanks for this tasty video
Yeah, we like flavor here lol. None of that “sprinkle this entire chicken breast with 3 specks of pepper and a pinch of salt”.
where do you live that white people do that? you bust be from up north. here is south louisiana it's cajun seasoning and cooking only.
@@BSkull-fv2yb Same here in south Mississippi. She hasn’t been hanging around my white family that’s for sure.
White people can cook you fuckin racist....
@@BSkull-fv2yb I agree with this as a black man from the south. north carolina to be exact. white folks know how to season their food down here too.
looks good, ok now how do you clean the cast iron
Get it hot, put water in it, scrub or scrape junk out, dry with paper towel, reheat to evaporate remaining water then take off heat, put a little oil in the pan and wipe it around to coat
@@TheChowHall nice ty for the reply
My hat is off to you for the Atkins/Travis intro, And you wear shorts and Crocs like me, I'm my god! Maybe we can friend's?!!
Crocs are the most comfortable shoes in existence. Utilitarian too. I wear mine out, wear em fishing, wading, hiking, you name it lol.
@@TheChowHall We, my wife and I live in NW Tennessee, I wear them in the freaking snow. 😂 I love your choice in background music, great choice!! Oh, and what state are from? Thanks for your reply!!
@@Danny66G1 From Florida, just moved to NC a few months ago. Ain’t had crocs in the snow yet but I’m sure I’ll get the chance before too long lol. Thanks for watching!
Would be much better if seasoning kept to the last 5 minutes before serving!

Will have to try that sometime. Thanks for watching!
how much seasoning per lb. would you think? I know that stuff tends to be salty, a good blackening is a real treat. Looks really good, but I may have to adjust so my cardiologist doesn't' get too mad at me.
Oh I don’t know to be honest. I just coat it till it looks good and covered. Not super caked on but a good coat for sure. They might make Cajun or blacken seasoning that’s salt free, probably worth checking out. I would think the strong flavors would cover for the reduced salt.
@@TheChowHall cool, making it tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe.
Excellent video. Took me a while to find a video by a fellow Southerner. Thank you for sharing
Thanks! Blackening is my go to for shrimp and fish. Can't beat it.
Quite an underrated recipe this!
Nice! What is the heating element below the skillet?
Just a propane burner stand. Got this one from bass pro for like 30 bucks, came with a deep metal pot and basket for deep frying.
They called the cafeteria in prison the chow hall
Military too. Prob just a government thing.
I know that's got to be crazy good
Yep! Always is. Blackening is my favorite way to prepare shrimp and white fleshed fish. Can't beat it.
Damn that looks so good!! 🤤🤤🤤. I’m making that for me and my daughter tomorrow!!
@@albertruiz3042 Awesome! I'm sure it'll turn out great. Best way to cook shrimp IMO.
doesnt any one ever realize seas0on in a bowl you wont be so wasteful
I've done that, I'll also sometimes season in the bag the shrimp comes w/ from the grocery store and shake it up. Neither, in my opinion, gets as much seasoning to stick as just throwing em on a board and seasoning each side. Even with how heavy I go on seasoning, a bottle of Redfish Magic will last me /at least/ two cooks. Considering a bottle only costs like 4?ish dollars, I'm not too worried about losing some seasoning to the board.
