1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. In a large bowl, combine the Cajun seasoning, pepper, chili powder, onion powder, cumin, and paprika and mix well. Add the shrimp and coat evenly.

3. Spread the seasoned shrimp in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, squeeze the lime juice over the entire pan, and sprinkle with cilantro, salt, and pepper.

4. While the shrimp is cooking, steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer or in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until crisp-tender.

5. Serve the shrimp with the warmed black beans and cauliflower florets.
