Cajun Butter Garlic Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro Lime Avocado 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!
