Nice and easy, tasty-except I would leave out the cumin next time-may depend on the Cajun spice mix used.
Also I would drain the shrimp after marinating-would prefer a drier shrimp that turns out more like the picture. And maybe use a larger pan or sauté in batches. Would make again with the above adjustments.
Plus points for ease and quickness of recipe.
