Tequila & Lime Grilled Shrimp
A Tequila And Lime Grilled Shrimp Recipe like this one is an easy way to get dinner on the table fast, especially during the hotter months. Shrimp takes a marinade super fast and grills to a perfect pink in moments!
Garlic Shrimp And Mushrooms
Make this quick and easy Chinese stir fry at home using shrimp, broccoli, tons of mushrooms and garlic too! When combined into a shrimp and mushrooms recipe, you get something hard-core tasty.
Shrimp Stuffed Avocados
If you’re having a brunch or luncheon and want to wow your guests with a healthful, homemade recipe, try this refreshing shrimp stuffed avocado. It’s light, eclectic, creamy, and savory—perfect for an appetizer or a light entrée.
Lemony Shrimp & White Bean Stew
This one’s Andi’s favorite of all our shrimp recipes. Cans of beans and pantry seasonings, frozen shrimp and a few bits of produce and you’ve got dinner. It looks and tastes so gourmet, but the most time-consuming part of this recipe is just zesting the lemon.
Chunky Seafood Chowder
Pull out that bag of cod and frozen shrimp, we’re making Chunky Seafood Chowder today! With a flavorful and soothing, sippable creamy broth (made without flour), this Chunky Seafood Chowder has tons of tender (but not mushy) vegetables and chunks of seafood.
The classic shrimp scampi gets special treatment with a lovingly wine-kissed glossy sauce and warm, airy French bread. Best of all, the whole recipe takes so little time that you can very well cook it up whenever you fancy.
The Cheesecake Factory makes our favorite bang-bang shrimp, but these are a close second. Try these with our bang-bang dipping sauce.
The “holy trinity” of Creole cooking — onion, celery, and bell pepper — shine brightly alongside succulent shrimp slow-simmered in a rich, fiery roux.
Take great care to stir the bottom of the pot continuously to prevent the roux from sticking and burning, and making sure to stay close to a burned roux is entirely beyond saving.
We’ve always got some frozen shrimp at the ready — they’re our “No Idea” supper — what we cook when we’ve got no idea what else to do. You can fill up on this; just stir the shrimp into your favorite sauce and serve over pasta.
A gloriously-slurpy tangle of pasta garnished with succulent, tender shrimp, a splashy summer holiday on a plate — sans the tan-lines and humidity. Happily, the fact that we’re eating this in front of the T.V rather than in some pretty Italian café has no bearing on how very wonderful it is.
Lightly battered shrimp nestled on a bed of citrusy, crunchy slaw and topped with a generous mix of seared vegetables make everyone happy — and come together as quick as a stir-fry. Feel free to mess about with vegetables and proteins and to play around with whatever you’ve got on hand for this fun one-dish meal.
The shrimp cocktail has long been a party favorite — mainly because of it’s straightforward yet delicious. Hence, many retained a secret love for the shrimp cocktail.
There’s no better way to begin a summer lunch, and there are certainly no leftovers.
Make your dinners exciting with this fun, exuberant stir-fry; indeed, as with any stir fry, the choice of components is vast — we like to toss a handful of cubed mangoes in the wok with everything else for a welcome sweet-sour pungency.
🦐🥓 14 Sides For Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp 🦐🥓
If you’re looking to build up your repertoire of coconut curries, try this one. It’s quick to prepare and wonderfully unfussy — as cooking with coconut milk is meant to be. Fiery, tropical, and phenomenally good; if you’re not a regular user of coconut milk, that’ll change your mind.
Wakey, wakey, eggs, and steaky . . . O.K, no, there’s grits for breakfast. But we don’t think you’ll be mad. Stir in a robust grating of mature cheddar for a welcome sharpness that’ll wake you right up.
The bottom line
Why is shrimp so often maligned by those who just never quite learned how to cook them? It’s one thing if you don’t like them: fair enough. It’s quite another to toss them in a skillet for 40 minutes and pin the disastrous results on the poor crustaceans themselves.
“They’re rubbery and gross!”
“They taste of plastic!”
Yes — because they’re over-cooked.
It’s effortless to do, given they only need about 2 or 3 minutes in the pan or on the grill before they’re done. Even less if they’re small. To that end, we’ve put together a collection of quick, easy recipes with shrimp that we hope you’ll find easy enough to attempt!
And if you are an occasional shrimp eater, we hope these will get you thinking about more than just a scampi; because there’s more than one way to savor shrimp.
To smooth-sailing from here on out — cheers and good eating!
