Remove the corn from the oven, cut them in half, brush each with melted butter and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Set them aside.
  • Drain, wash, and pat dry the shrimp. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Cajun spice and toss to coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Place the butter, garlic, and remaining Cajun spice in a sauté pan over low heat and let it melt, stirring occasionally. Add the marinated shrimp and cook for 5-6 minutes, tossing often, until cooked through. Set the shrimp aside.
