Using sharp kitchen scissors, cut along backs of shrimp, stopping just before tails; devein. Rinse under running water and pat dry. Carefully loosen shells from shrimp, taking care not to remove. Stuff 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Cajun Cabin Butter between shell and shrimp using your finger or a small tip on a piping bag. Thread shrimp onto skewers through top and tail.
