Grilled Cajun Shrimp Platter With Ranch Dill Dip
Urban Recipes
By Christina Jeffrey
Get ready to relax and enjoy this long weekend! Here is a great snack platter or light lunch to help you do just that.
Grilled Cajun Shrimp with a Ranch Dill Dip, served with homemade whole grain nacho chips and Summer Guacamole.
These Grilled Cajun Shrimp are smoky and perfectly spiced with a nice kick of garlic and delicious with a squeeze of lime. The Ranch Dill Dip is a favourite of mine with fresh parsley, chives, and dill. It's a perfect accompaniment to bring out all the cajun spices of the shrimp. It is also a beautiful dressing for summer salads. Add the homemade whole grain chips with this Summer Guacamole, a cocktail and you are set to sit by the pool or on the deck at the cottage for an enjoyable afternoon.
