Just made some the other day.

I mix up paprika, thyme, oregano, a bit of cayenne for some kick, plus garlic and onion powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the cayenne to your spice preference.

Then, I coat the shrimp in all that spicy mess. Make sure they're nicely coated, let 'em sit for a bit to soak up the flavors if you've got the time.

Heat up a cast iron skillet till it's smokin' hot. That's the secret to getting the blackened crust. Toss in some oil and throw those shrimp in. 

Cook them for a couple of minutes on each side until they turn pink and get that delicious blackened look. Then, drizzle some melted butter over them and toss 'em around.

Serve them up hot, maybe with some lemon wedges if you like that tang.
