For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of Cajun seasoning. For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the shrimp in a grill pan on the stovetop or broil them in the oven. Serve the grilled shrimp as an appetizer, or as a main course with rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
