Season the Mixture: Add the seafood seasoning, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Cook the Shrimp: Gently fold in the peeled and deveined shrimp, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Serve: Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious Cajun-inspired dish with your family and friends!
