Cajun Recipes
1 high-protein cajun recipe, sorted by protein content.
Cajun seasoning — paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, oregano, and thyme — is one of the most protein-friendly spice profiles because it adds aggressive flavor to any lean protein with zero calorie cost. The Cajun shrimp and cauliflower rice skillet packs 53g protein into 492 calories by swapping traditional rice for riced cauliflower and letting the seasoning do all the work. Shrimp cooks in minutes, cauliflower rice absorbs the spiced butter, and the whole dish comes together faster than most stir-fries. A strong option when you need high protein and bold Southern heat.
