Bacon Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp

Bacon Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wrap shrimp with 1/2 slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Be sure and use the large shrimp--the cooking time for the shrimp and the bacon is similar. If you use medium-sized shrimp, you might want to precook the bacon a little--over cooked shrimp are tough and rubbery--and a real shame.

  2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  3. Line a jelly roll pan with extra heavy duty foil, and place baking rack in the pan. Place the shrimp on the rack, and sprinkle heavily with the barbecue seasoning. Turn and sprinkle second side. Set aside for 15 minutes. The bacon will turn from creamy white to a little opaque, and the seasonings will soak in.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp and shrimp are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. The rack keeps the shrimp from sitting in the draining bacon fat. With a little luck, you won't tear the foil--you can throw that away and only have to scrub the rack.

Shrimp Fried Rice

Shrimp Fried Rice - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Toss the shrimp with salt, pepper, and cornstarch:

    In a medium bowl, sprinkle the shrimp with salt, pepper, and cornstarch, and toss to coat. Set aside to sit for ten minutes at room temperature.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Toss the shrimp with salt, pepper, and cornstarch:
  2. Heat the pan on high heat:

    Heat a large sauté pan or wok (a seasoned cast iron pan or hard anodized aluminum works well, they're relatively stick free and can take the heat) on high heat.

    When the pan is very hot (a drop of water instantly sizzles when it hits the pan), swirl in one tablespoon of the cooking oil to coat the pan.

  3. Sear the shrimp on both sides:

    Add the shrimp to the hot pan, spreading them out quickly in a single layer. Let them fry in the pan without moving them, for 30 seconds.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Flip the shrimp over and let them fry on the other side for another 30 seconds or until they are mostly cooked through. (Do not cook them all the way!)

    Use a slotted spoon to scoop the shrimp out of the pan to a bowl.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Sear the shrimp on both sides:
  4. Cook the beaten eggs until slightly runny:

    Return the pan to the burner and lower the heat to medium. Add a little more oil if the pan needs it. Add the beaten eggs and stir them quickly to scramble them while they cook.

    When the eggs are not quite cooked through, still a bit runny, transfer them from the pan to the bowl with the cooked shrimp.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Cook the beaten eggs until slightly runny:
  5. Sauté the green onions and add the rice:

    Clean out the pan or wok with paper towels and return it to the burner. Heat the pan on high and when it is hot, swirl in the remaining tablespoon or two of oil. When the oil is shimmering hot (almost smoking), add the green onions and sauté for 15 seconds.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Then add the leftover cooked rice to the pan and stir with the green onions to mix well.

    Spread the rice onion mixture over the surface of the pan and let it fry, without moving it. You should hear the rice sizzle. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.

    Use a spatula to turn over the rice, and spread it over the pan again. Let cook for a minute longer.

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Simply Recipes / Elise Bauer

    Sauté the green onions and add the rice:
  6. Add the soy sauce, carrots, peas, shrimp, eggs, and sesame oil:

    Sprinkle soy sauce on the rice and stir to combine.

    Add the carrots, peas, shrimp, eggs, and sesame oil, stirring to combine well.

    Heat everything until sizzling hot. Add more soy sauce to taste.

Grilled Shrimp Taco Bowl

Grilled Shrimp Taco Bowl - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Combine the spices and shrimp:

    In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika through chipotle powder. In a larger bowl, toss shrimp with oil and then add the spices. Stir with a large spoon until evenly coated.

    Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.

    Combine the spices and shrimp:
  2. Prep the grill:

    When ready to grill the shrimp, preheat a gas or charcoal grill for 15 to 20 minutes to high heat. If your grill has a thermometer, make sure it reads at least 500°F.

  3. Make the dressing:

    Add all the dressing ingredients except the salt to the bowl of a mini chopper or a blender. Pulse 3 to 5 times until the ingredients are broken down a bit, and then blend on high to create a creamy consistency. (The dressing may be made up to two days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.) Taste, and add salt as needed.

    Make the dressing:
  4. Season the black beans:

    In a small bowl, toss black beans with two teaspoons oil and salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Grill the shrimp:

    Shake off excess marinade and thread the shrimp into two metal skewers. Using two skewers makes the shrimp easy to flip on a very hot grill.

    When your gas or charcoal grill is hot, use tongs to oil the grill grates with a small folded piece of paper towel dipped in oil.

    Place the skewers on the grill. Using tongs, press down gently on the skewers to encourage pretty grill marks and awesome charred flavor.

    Flip the skewers after about 3 minutes and finish cooking on the other side for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque almost all the way through. They will continue cooking for a few minutes after they’re off the grill.

    Grill the shrimp:
  6. Assemble the bowls:

    Divide the rice between four bowls, then top each bowl with black beans, corn, tomatoes, radishes, romaine, avocado, and shrimp.

    Serve with small bowls of limes, chopped chilies, and chopped cilantro.

    Assemble the bowls:

  2. Cook the mushrooms:

    In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add olive oil and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms soften and turn brown in spots around the edges, about 8 minutes.

    Simply Recipes / Nick Evans

    Cook the mushrooms:
  3. Add the shrimp:

    Once the mushrooms are cooked to your liking, add the shrimp to the skillet. If the skillet is very dry, add a fresh drizzle of oil to it to ensure the shrimp doesn’t stick. Cook, stirring constantly, until shrimp are cooked through and no longer translucent, 2-3 minutes.

    Simply Recipes / Nick Evans

    Add the shrimp:
  4. Finish the stir fry:

    Once shrimp are cooked, add all the stir fry sauce to the skillet and stir to combine. The finished sauce should just coat the stir fry ingredients, almost like a thin gravy. If the sauce thickens too much, stir in extra water by the tablespoon. If the sauce is too thin, let it simmer for 1-2 minutes and it will thicken. Lastly, stir in the chopped scallions.

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos

Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make the bang bang sauce:

    In a bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, and sriracha together until blended. Store up to two days in the refrigerator until ready to use.

    Make the bang bang sauce:
  2. Marinate the shrimp:

    In a separate bowl, marinate the shrimp in the buttermilk for 20 minutes.

    Marinate the shrimp:
  3. Prepare your breading station:

    Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

    Set a cooling rack on top of a sheet pan on which to place the breaded shrimp prior to frying (this helps achieve a crispy coating on the shrimp).

    Set up a draining station as well by lining another sheet pan with a thick layer of paper towels. (Or, if you have another cooling rack to set over the sheet pan, that’s even better!)

    Set the oven to 200°F.

    Prepare your breading station:
  4. Bread the shrimp:

    While the oil heats, drain the buttermilk and toss the shrimp, in batches, in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour and arrange the shrimp on the cooling rack to “dry out” while you’re heating your frying oil.

    Bread the shrimp:
  5. Heat the oil:

    Place a thermometer in a wide, deep pot, such as a Dutch oven, and add the oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350°F. (This will take about 20 minutes.)

  6. Fry the shrimp:

    Add a handful of the shrimp to the hot oil, and after a minute of frying, use a slotted spoon to stir and separate the shrimp; they like to stick together. Fry for 4 to 4 1/2 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown.

    Fry the shrimp:
  7. Keep the shrimp warm and continue frying:

    Remove the shrimp from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on your draining rack/pan. Place the cooked shrimp in the warm oven.

    Continue frying the remaining shrimp in batches. Remember to let the oil come back up to 350°F in between batches.

    Keep the shrimp warm and continue frying:
  8. Sauce the shrimp:

    Once all of the shrimp has been fried, toss it all in 1 cup of the sauce. Reserve the remaining sauce for drizzling on top of the tacos.

    Sauce the shrimp:
  9. Assemble the tacos:

    Fill the warmed tortillas with a handful of shredded cabbage, then top the cabbage with the shrimp, then more sauce (if desired). Garnish the tacos with sliced radishes, jalapeños, green onions, and the chopped cilantro, then serve.

    These tacos are best enjoyed right away.

  1. Season the shrimp:

    In a medium bowl, use a wooden spoon to toss shrimp with kosher salt and ground turmeric until combined. Keep covered with plastic wrap or foil in the fridge while you prepare the spice paste.

  2. Toast the chiles and coconut powder:

    In a small skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon canola oil. Wait 1 minute, add the chiles, and use tongs to turn them every 30 seconds. Toast chiles until aromatic and softened, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove chiles from the pan and set aside.

    Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the coconut powder and stir occasionally until toasted all over and light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.

  3. Prepare the chiles:

    Wear gloves and use scissors to remove the stem, squeeze out the seeds, and remove the membrane of the chile.

    Roughly chop the chiles, then place them into a small spice grinder or food processor and grind into a powder the texture of finely crushed chile flakes.

    Avoid inhaling while grinding, as it can irritate your nose and throat and cause a lot of sneezing!

    Measure out 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder for a mild spice/heat and 1 tablespoon for medium spice/heat. (Any remaining chili powder can be kept in the fridge up to 1 week and sprinkled on dishes as a condiment).

  4. Grind the paste:

    Place the chili powder, coconut powder, coriander seeds, garlic, shallot, tamarind paste, and water in a small food processor. Grind until smooth (it’s okay to have a few residual minced pieces of garlic, but otherwise the texture should be quite homogeneous).

    Karishma Pradhan / Simply Recipes

    Karishma Pradhan / Simply Recipes

    Grind the paste:
  5. Cook the paste:

    Set the cleaned skillet to medium heat and add 2 tablespoons canola oil. Add the paste in and cook, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until the color slightly darkens from orange to burnt orange. The paste should have thickened slightly and begun lightly sticking to the pan. Remove the paste and let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

    Cook the paste:
  6. Prepare the grill and skewers:

    Meanwhile, pre-heat a gas grill on direct, medium-high heat (aim for 400°F to 450°F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in a bowl of water for at least 20 minutes.

  7. Toss shrimp with paste:

    Remove the bowl of shrimp from the fridge and use a wooden spoon to stir in the paste until evenly coated.

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp

Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Brine the shrimp (optional, but recommended):

    Whisk the salt, sugar, and water until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the ice and the shrimp, and let sit for 30 minutes (no longer). Remove the shrimp from the brine.

  2. Prepare grill or preheat oven:

    Prepare grill on high, direct heat (if grilling) or preheat the oven to 400°F. If grilling and using thin bamboo or wood skewers, soak them in water first for 30 minutes.

  3. Season the shrimp:

    Mix together in a small bowl the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, and chipotle powder. Stir the shrimp into the lime chipotle mixture; make sure each piece is well coated.

    Season the shrimp:
  4. Partially cook the bacon:

    Spread the bacon pieces out over several layers of paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with another layer of paper towel. Microwave on high until the bacon fat begins to melt but the bacon is still somewhat pliable, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

  5. Wrap the shrimp with bacon:

    Working one at a time, wrap a half piece of partially cooked bacon around each piece of shrimp.

  6. Prep the shrimp for cooking:

    If you are grilling, thread the shrimp onto skewers.

    If you are using the oven, secure each piece of bacon onto the shrimp with toothpicks. Place the bacon-wrapped shrimp on a foil-lined baking pan. Brush remaining lime chipotle mixture on the outside of the bacon-wrapped shrimp.

  7. Grill or bake the shrimp:

    Grill uncovered for 3 minutes on each side (less or more time depending on the heat of your grill), or bake in the 400°F oven for 8 to 11 minutes, or until the bacon is lightly browned and the shrimp is cooked through.

    Grill or bake the shrimp:

Shrimp and Asparagus Pasta

Shrimp and Asparagus Pasta - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Boil water for pasta:

    Fill a large pot with water and salt it generously. Set it over high heat and bring to a boil.

  2. Cook the pasta:

    When the salted water is at a rolling boil, add the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, until it is just 1 minute shy of al dente, very nearly cooked but slightly too firm in the center, about 10 minutes.

    Drain the pasta in a colander, reserving 1 cup of pasta water to add to the shrimp and asparagus.

    Alison Bickel / Simply Recipes

    Cook the pasta:
  3. Cook the shrimp and asparagus:

    While the pasta is cooking, start cooking the other ingredients.

    In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp, asparagus, and garlic. Increase the heat on the stove to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the side of the shrimp have just turned pink, about 4 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper.

    Reduce the heat to medium and add the white wine and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the pan. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice to the pan. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste. Continue to cook until the asparagus is just tender and the widest part of the shrimp has turned from translucent to opaque, about 2 minutes.

  1. Arrange the oven rack and preheat the oven:

    Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  2. Make the rice:

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the rice and continue to boil until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the rice well through a fine-mesh strainer, return the rice to the now-empty pot off the heat, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes.

  3. Make the hot honey:

Shrimp Risotto

Shrimp Risotto - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the clam juice and water:

    Add the clam juice to 4 cups of water in a pot, heat until steamy. Do not let it boil.

  2. Sauté the shallots:

    In separate pot (thick-bottomed), heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat, and sauté the minced shallots for 2-3 minutes, until just translucent.

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Sauté the shallots:
  3. Add the rice to the pot:

    Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until all the grains are well-coated in butter and are beginning to toast.

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Add the rice to the pot:
  4. Add the wine and stir:

    Increase the heat to high and add the white wine. With a wooden spoon, stir the rice vigorously. Once the wine boils, turn the heat down until the wine is just simmering gently.

    Stir almost constantly. You are doing this to agitate the rice, which releases its starch and creates the creamy sauce you want in a risotto.

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Add the wine and stir:
  5. Add the hot liquid bit by bit:

    When the wine is almost cooked away – under no circumstances should you let the rice sizzle on the bottom of the pot – pour in 2 ladles of the hot clam broth/water mixture. Stir well to combine, and add a healthy pinch of salt.

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe

    Add the hot liquid bit by bit:
  6. Continue stirring, simmering, and adding ladlefuls of liquid:

    Stirring almost constantly, let this liquid reduce until it is almost gone, then add another ladle of broth.

    Continue this until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Taste the spoon and see if the risotto needs salt. If so, add a small pinch.

    This much risotto rice should need about 4 to 5 cups of liquid total (including the wine) to come together, so start tasting the rice at the 3rd cup. If it is almost there – firm in the center but translucent on the outside, and fully surrounded with a creamy sauce – add one more cup of broth, stir well, and taste one more time for salt. (If not, you have old rice and you’ll need to go one more cup and let it cook away.)

  7. Add the shrimp, parsley, and remaining butter:

    Now add in the shrimp, parsley, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Stir constantly until this last cup of broth you added is about half gone: Remember you want this risotto to be loose and creamy.

    Right before you serve, add in the lemon zest and serve at once. Best served with bowls and spoons rather than plates and forks.

This Easy Shrimp Stir Fry Is My Weeknight Magic Trick - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make the stir fry sauce:

    Stir together the soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and Sriracha in a small bowl and set aside.

  2. Brown the shrimp:

    Place the shrimp in a medium bowl. Add the salt and pepper and toss to coat.

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the shrimp in an even layer and cook until lightly browned on both sides but not fully cooked through, about 2 minutes total. Transfer the shrimp to a large plate and set aside. Reserve the oil in the skillet.

  3. Cook the sauce:

    Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the soy sauce mixture and cook, stirring often, until reduced by about half and thickened, about 2 minutes.

  4. Cook the vegetables and shrimp:

    Add the snow peas and bok choy and cook, stirring often, until the bok choy is crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low, add the butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts. Add the shrimp and stir until coated in sauce and cooked through, about 1 minute.

  5. Garnish and serve:

    Remove from the heat and top with cilantro, if using. Serve over rice with lime wedges and more Sriracha, if desired.

    This dish is best served immediately, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat over medium heat in a skillet or heat individual servings in the microwave until warmed through.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:

    Preheat oven to 400˚F.

  2. Make the garlic butter sauce:

    In a small saucepan over low heat, add the butter and garlic. Cook until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to let the butter brown. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside for later use.

    Roast the asparagus:
  4. Roast the shrimp:

    Toss shrimp with the chili powder and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

    After asparagus has roasted for 7 minutes, move them to one side of the sheet pan and add shrimp to the second half in a single layer. Return to oven and roast for another 7 minutes. It’s okay if some of the asparagus overlap.

    The sheet pan is done when the shrimp have turned a light pink color and are firm in texture. The asparagus should be browned on the edges and fork tender.

    Roast the shrimp:
  5. Cut asparagus and drizzle with garlic butter:

    Carefully remove the asparagus from the sheet pan and chop into 3-4 pieces. Place back onto the sheet pan with the shrimp and coat everything lightly with half the garlic butter sauce.

  2. Prepare the fennel:

    Trim the fronds from the fennel (save a handful). Cut the bulb in half again through the root. Set the pieces, cut sides down, and slice the fennel as thinly as possible (you can use a very sharp knife or a mandoline for this).

    Simply Recipes / Prerna Singh

    Prepare the fennel:
  3. Pack the shrimp into a jar:

    In a 1-quart canning jar or crock, layer the cooked shrimp, remaining lemon slices, remaining red onion, sliced fennel, and a few fennel fronds, thyme sprigs, garlic, capers, and mustard seeds. (Discard the cooking liquid.)

    Simply Recipes / Prerna Singh

    Pack the shrimp into a jar:
  4. Pour in the vinegar and oil:

    Combine the vinegar and oil in a measuring cup; it's fine if they separate. Pour the vinegar and oil into the jar to cover the shrimp. If the liquid doesn’t quite cover the shrimp, add more olive oil to cover.

  5. Cure the shrimp:

    Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least one day or up to three days.

  6. Serve the shrimp:

    Remove the jar from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to serve the shrimp. The olive oil may congeal in the refrigerator and will liquefy at room temperature.

    Carefully spoon the mixture into a big bowl. Serve with toothpicks on the side or in individual stemmed glasses as an appetizer or first course.

New Orleans-Style Barbecue Shrimp - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter:

    Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the foam subsides and the butter starts to smell nutty, about 4 minutes.

  2. Make the sauce:

    Add the bay leaves (if using), garlic, Creole seasoning, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Bring to a vigorous simmer.

    Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces to about 2/3 cup and coats the back of a spoon, 6 to 8 minutes.

  3. Cook the shrimp:

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook, stirring often, until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 4 minutes.

    Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter until melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve with bread to soak up the sauce.

    Shrimp does not reheat well, so we do not recommend saving leftovers for more than 1 day.

Shrimp Étouffée

Shrimp Étouffée - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make the optional shrimp stock:

    If you don't already have prepared stock, pour 2 quarts of water into a pot and add all the shrimp stock ingredients. Bring to a boil, drop the heat down and simmer the stock gently for 45 minutes. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve into another pot set over low heat.

    You will only need about 2 cups of stock for this recipe. Use the leftover stock for soup, risotto, etc. It will last in the fridge for a week or frozen for up to three months.

  2. Make the roux:

    Heat the vegetable oil or lard in a heavy pot over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, making sure there are no clumps. Let this cook, stirring often, until it turns a very brown, about 10 minutes or so.

  3. Add the vegetables:

    Add the celery, green pepper, jalapeño and onion, mix well and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook another 2 minutes.

    Elise Bauer

    Add the vegetables:
  4. Slowly add the shrimp stock, then the seasonings and the shrimp:

    Measure out 2 cups of the shrimp stock and slowly add it a little at a time, stirring constantly so it incorporates. The roux will absorb the stock and seize up at first, then it will loosen. Add additional stock as needed to make a sauce about the thickness of syrup.

    Elise Bauer

Spanish Garlic Shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo)

Spanish Garlic Shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo) - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Marinate the shrimp:

    Finely chop 3 of the garlic cloves and place in a medium bowl with the shrimp, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and the salt; toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the dish.

  2. Cook the garlic:

    While the shrimp sit, thinly slice the remaining 4 garlic cloves.

    Heat the remaining 6 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and paprika and cook, stirring occasionally, until sizzling and the garlic starts to turn lightly golden, 4 to 5 minutes. If the garlic is cooking too fast, decrease the heat to medium-low. You don’t want it to burn.

  3. Cook the shrimp:

    Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet along with any liquid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, tossing and stirring constantly, just until the shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes.

    Add the parsley, if using, and sherry vinegar and toss to combine. Serve immediately with crusty bread to sop up the “sauce.”

    This dish is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day. Reheat gently so the shrimp doesn’t end up overcooked.

Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Garlic Cilantro Lime Slaw - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Sauce: Pulse all the sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender until mostly smooth. Add water if needed to thin.

  2. Slaw: Toss some of the sauce (not all) with the cabbage. We’ll use the leftover sauce to top the tacos.

  3. Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Toss the shrimp in a small bowl with the spice mix to get it coated. Heat a drizzle of oil a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and sauté for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through.

  4. Assembly: For the prettiest and easiest-to-eat assembly, go in this order: smashed avocado, slaw, and shrimp. Finish with Cotjia cheese, lime wedges, and extra sauce.

Thai Shrimp Curry with Yummy Shallot Crispies

Thai Shrimp Curry with Yummy Shallot Crispies - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make shallot crispies (optional): Heat the oil over medium heat in a large wide skillet. Add the shallots; sauté until golden, 5-10 minutes. Add panko and mix with the shallots in the pan; sauté another couple of minutes until the whole mixture is golden. Transfer to a small bowl. Toss with the herbs and a pinch of salt.

  2. Start the curry: Wipe the pan out. Turn the heat back on to medium. Add the oil, curry paste, garlic, ginger, and veggies; let it cook for a few minutes. Add coconut milk; simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly and veggies are starting to get tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add shrimp: Place the shrimp on top of the gently bubbling curry. The shrimp will basically just steam / poach in the liquid! Easy. After 2-3 minutes, flip the shrimp so they can finish cooking on the other side. When they’re done they’ll start to curl and be fully opaque – in this picture they’re about half done.

  4. Season: Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar. Taste and adjust – make it more spicy with chili crisp, more salty with fish sauce, etc.

  5. You’re Done! Yum. Scoop the curry over some rice, and top with a little sprinkle of the shallot crispies (OMG).

Pesto Shrimp and Parmesan Risotto

Pesto Shrimp and Parmesan Risotto - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Shrimp: Place the shrimp, garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and lemon zest in a bowl or plastic bag. Mix it all together so the shrimp is coated with all that flavor goodness. Stick it back in the fridge to let it marinate while you make the risotto (for about 1 hour, if you can).

  2. Make the Risotto: In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic or shallots and saute for a minute or two, until soft and fragrant.

  3. Add the arborio rice, stir to coat with butter. Add the white wine and enjoy the sizzles. Add the broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and simmer/stir after each addition until the rice is soft and creamy.

  4. When the risotto is done, add the Parmesan and stir until incorporated. Add truffle oil if you want (omg it’s so good). Salt + pepp to taste.

  5. Make the Pesto Shrimp: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (I use nonstick for this). Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on their size. Brush the cooked shrimp with the pesto for the last 60 seconds or so of cooking.

  6. Serve risotto topped with those juicy pesto shrimp. Speckle some chopped fresh tomatoes around in there and top with herbs or something delicate and green (I used microgreens in the photo). Salt, pepper, a little more lemon juice and you’re in a very happy place.

Garlic Butter Shrimp Boil

Garlic Butter Shrimp Boil - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Butter Sauce: Melt your butter in a saucepan over medium low heat. Add the garlic and just let it hang out over gentle, low heat to infuse all the garlic flavor into the butter and soften the little pieces of garlic. Add a few thyme sprigs if you want to be extra. Keep an eye on it so you don’t brown it or burn it. It will smell… how do I say this? AMAZING.

  2. Start Your Water / Broth: Fill a large (like, large) pot with water to about half capacity. Bring the water to boil over medium high heat. If you want, add some things to make a broth: chunks of onion, garlic, lemon, salt, seasonings. Add a couple big pinches of salt. This is very low pressure and meant to be loose! Plain salted water will also work just fine.

  3. Boil Potatoes and Corn: Add potatoes and corn to the water. Boil for 5-8 minutes until tender-crisp.

  4. Boil Kielbasa and Shrimp: Add kielbasa and shrimp to the water. Boil for another 4-5 minutes until the shrimp is cooked through.

  5. Serve: Drain and transfer to a big roasting pan, serving dish, OR directly to your table lined with newspaper for the real deal experience. Squeeze lemon juice over the top, sprinkle with seasonings to taste, and drizzle with the butter sauce. Also: serve with little dishes of garlic butter sauce for dunking. Be prepared to fall in love.

Chimichurri Shrimp with Tomatoes

Chimichurri Shrimp with Tomatoes - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Chimichurri: Blitz up your sauce in a food processor. It will be somewhat emulsified and it will settle a bit as it rests. If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop everything and mix together in a bowl. Divide the sauce into three bowls: one bowl for tossing with the shrimp, one bowl for brushing while cooking, and one bowl for brushing at the table.

  2. Get That Flavor on Your Shrimp: Thaw shrimp (if frozen) and remove shells and tails (if necessary or desired). Pat dry with paper towels. Toss the shrimp with one third of the chimichurri.

  3. Grill the Skewers: Thread the saucy shrimp onto soaked wood skewers. Transfer to a grill pan, grill, or standard sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on the size of your shrimp. Brush with additional sauce as you cook. Cook until no longer translucent, or until 145 degrees.

  4. Serving: I like to toss some cherry tomatoes with a spoonful of my reserved chimichurri and then plate it all up: rice, tomatoes, shrimp, and a little side dish of tzatziki just for something extra to dip and dunk.

Garlic Shrimp and Tomatoes with Parmesan Orzo

Garlic Shrimp and Tomatoes with Parmesan Orzo - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the Orzo: Cook according to package directions. Drain, toss with a bit of oil, and set aside.

  2. Soften the Tomatoes: Add the tomatoes and olive oil to a pan over medium high heat so they can soften and get a bit blistered on the outside. I usually cover the pan to avoid extra splatters.

  3. Smash the Tomatoes: Once they’re soft (5 minutes or so), give them a gentle smash with the back of a spoon or applying even pressure with a plate or similar flat object. You want the tomatoes to be partially burst / smashed so they release some juices.

  4. Cook the Shrimp: Make a little clearing in the center of the tomatoes and add your shrimp right in; season them with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 2 minutes on each side.

  5. Give it Some Flava-Flave: Add the garlic, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the pan and stir to mix it all together. Let it get saucy and bubbly; then remove from heat and cover with a lid.

  6. Make the orzo: Mix the orzo with butter, half and half, Parmesan, and lemon. Stir to combine; warm it up over the heat if necessary.

  7. Pile it up: Serve immediately so the orzo doesn’t get too starchy and sticky! Pile it on a plate with a big scoop of steamy shrimp and tomatoes. Top with thyme. So good!

Shrimp Egg Rolls

Shrimp Egg Rolls - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cabbage, bean sprouts, and oyster sauce; saute until veggies start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shrimp and soy sauce, stir, and remove from heat. Set aside until filling is cool enough to handle.

  2. Heat 2 inches oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  3. While oil is heating, place an egg roll wrapper on a dry work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the center of the wrapper. Pull the bottom left corner over the filling and fold the two sides in, moistening edges with water as you go; roll tightly to seal. Repeat to make a few more egg rolls, wiping the work surface between each roll.

  4. Place several egg rolls in the hot oil and fry until wrappers are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain while you make and cook remaining egg rolls.

  5. Combine duck sauce, oyster sauce, and soy sauce; stir until well combined. Serve sauce with egg rolls.

Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace:

    Fill a wide, shallow bowl, like a pasta bowl, with lukewarm water. Lightly wet the surface of a cutting board. This helps prevent the rice paper from sticking onto the board.

    Have all your ingredients prepped and arranged in bowls near your workspace. Brush a serving platter with a very light coating of sesame oil or neutral-flavored oil and place it near your work surface; the oil will help prevent the finished rolls from sticking to the platter.

  2. Soften the rice paper wrapper:

    Dip one of the rice paper wrappers into the water and swirl it around until the entire surface is evenly moistened (20 to 40 seconds or so). It should start to feel softened and malleable. If the rice paper rips or tears, you softened it for too long; discard and start again with a fresh wrapper.

  3. Arrange the vegetables and shrimp on the wrapper:

    Place the softened rice paper onto the wet board. Arrange some carrots, cucumbers, peppers and a few basil and mint leaves in a line about 1 inch away from the bottom edge of the wrapper. Line 3 pieces of shrimp about 1 1/2 inches above the vegetables.

    If you like, drizzle a little peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce over the ingredients at this point for some extra flavor.

  4. Wrap the spring rolls:

    Fold the bottom part of the rice paper wrapper over the vegetables. Continue rolling the everything toward the shrimp.

    Once you reach the shrimp, stop and fold the left and right sides of the wrapper toward the center. Continue rolling until you reach the top and form a roll.

    Place the finished spring roll on the platter. Repeat for the remaining spring rolls.

  5. Make the peanut dipping sauce:

    Mix together the peanut butter, tamari, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, water, and salt. Taste, and adjust the seasonings to your taste. Transfer to a small bowl and place on the platter with the spring rolls.

  6. Serve the spring rolls:

    These rolls are best if served the day they are made. If not serving immediately, cover the platter with a slightly damp cloth and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, whisk together chicken stock, sherry, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and pepper in a small bowl.

Add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, until almost done, about 2 minutes. Push vegetables and shrimp to one side of the pan and add chicken stock mixture; stir constantly until sauce is hot.

  4. Add noodles and stir well to mix with sauce and vegetables (using a metal spatula and chopping noodles slightly helps to mix this together.)

Garlic Basil Shrimp and Grits - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. GRITS: In a medium saucepan, bring the almondmilk to a near-boil (it’s ready when it’s steaming). Add the grits and 1 teaspoon salt and whisk until smooth. Reduce heat and cover; let the grits cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping or scorching. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil (more to taste) and season with more salt as needed.

  2. SHRIMP: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 clove of the garlic. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook for a few minutes on each side until pink. Remove from heat.

  3. TOMATO SAUCE: In the same skillet, add the tomatoes, garlic, remaining olive oil. When the tomatoes start breaking apart and letting off their juices, add the chicken broth and simmer for 10-15 minutes. The sauce should thicken as you simmer it and reduce the heat. Add the 1 teaspoon salt, shrimp, and basil. Stir to combine.

  4. SERVE: Divide the grits between four bowls and top with the shrimp/sauce. You can top with additional basil or Parmesan cheese.

Shrimp Pasta Salad

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Thaw the shrimp:

    Defrost frozen shrimp by placing them in a bowl of cold water. Keep chilled until needed.

  2. Cook the pasta:

    Cook the pasta in well salted water (1 tablespoon salt for every 2 quarts water) until al dente, a bit firmer than you would normally eat. (The pasta will absorb some of the salad dressing and soften further after cooking.)

    Rinse the pasta in cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well and put into a large bowl.

  3. Assemble the salad:

    Rinse the shrimp and drain well. Add them to the bowl with the pasta and mix. Add the remaining ingredients and gently mix until well combined.

  4. Chill and serve:

    Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving. Serve chilled.

Shrimp, Bacon, Avocado Pasta Salad

Shrimp, Bacon, Avocado Pasta Salad - shrimp recipe photo

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Toss shrimp with chipotle chile powder and salt and put in the refrigerator to marinate while you make the pasta and the rest of the salad.

  2. Put a large pot of salted water on to a boil (2 quarts of water, 1 Tbsp salt).

  3. While the water is heating, cook the bacon. Put the bacon in a small saucepan on medium heat. Cook until most of the fat has rendered out and the bacon pieces are lightly browned. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Discard or save for future use all but one tablespoon of the rendered bacon fat (do not pour bacon fat down the drain or you will be calling your plumber).

  4. Increase the heat to high and add the shrimp. Sauté until done, a few minutes.

  5. When the pasta water comes to a boil, add the pasta and cook until al dente, cooked through but still a little firm to the bite (usually 1 or 2 minutes less than what the package calls for).

  6. Put all of the dressing ingredients into a jar, cover and shake until well blended.

  7. When the pasta is ready, strain it and rinse with cold water. Place in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss with the shrimp, bacon, bell peppers, and onions. Add the cilantro and avocado just before serving.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Place rice in a large bowl, and cover with cold running water. Agitate with hands to release excess starch, and pour off water. Repeat process until water is mostly clear, 4 to 5 times.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the ghee in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon garam masala, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon each of grated garlic and ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon coriander. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add rice, and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is well coated in ghee and spices, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Add 2 1/4 cups water, and stir. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir, and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, undisturbed, until rice is just tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and remove lid. Fluff with a fork, and set aside.

  5. Meanwhile, whisk together yogurt, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add shrimp, and toss to fully coat; set aside.

  6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  7. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or large oven-safe nonstick saucepan. Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to release liquid and soften, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, remaining 2 teaspoons garam masala, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, remaining 1 teaspoon each garlic and ginger, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon coriander. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have mostly broken down and mixture resembles a tomato sauce in texture, about 8 minutes.

  8. Remove from heat, and add shrimp mixture, stirring constantly, until well combined. Stir in 1/4 cup cilantro and 1 tablespoon mint. Remove half (about 1 heaping cup) of the shrimp mixture from Dutch oven, and set aside in a medium bowl. Spread remaining shrimp mixture in the Dutch oven into an even layer. Add half (about 3 cups) of cooked rice mixture over shrimp mixture. Add reserved 1 heaping cup shrimp mixture over rice. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cilantro and 1/2 tablespoon mint. Add remaining rice mixture over shrimp mixture, and spread into an even layer.

  9. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons ghee in a small bowl, and stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. Drizzle over rice mixture. Place a lid on Dutch oven.

  10. Bake in the preheated oven until shrimp finishes cooking, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and remove lid. Shrimp will be bright pink outside and meat will be opaque,. Top with remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and 1/2 tablespoon mint. Top with fried onions and drizzle with melted ghee, as desired. Serve immediately.
