Notes
To blacken fish, shrimp, chicken, etc.: Dredge or brush the protein in melted butter, then season generously with blackened seasoning. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat, then add the seasoned protein. The goal is a dark, crusty char on both sides. Depending on the protein and its size, this usually only takes a few minutes per side. Shrimp will take less time, chicken will require more time.
