    Grilled on the BBQ (2 mins on each side for medium sized shrimp). Toss on top of a large spinach salad (I like mine with strawberries or blueberries, goat cheese and almonds) or in a pasta with pesto or tomato sauce and any other veggies you can grill on the BBQ at the same time.

    I flipping LOVE ceviche! I would also say grilled. It's great on skewers with some fruit and veg. Or tossed in a light sauce for pasta. Or in a jambalaya. Or as the protein highlight of a mostly veggie stir fry. So many options!

    Last week I made a pretty delicious recipe. Only used 13 medium shrimp, since they were what I had. Can do more just tweak the recipe to your needs.

    Preheat oven to 350.
    Take foil and fold up edges to keep juices in. (roughly the size of of piece of paper - 2 pcs)
    Place shrimp in center of foil.
    Add tbsp of butter (tried to top each shrimp)
    Used pico de gallo (even tho the recipe I found said to use chopped veggies) about 2 tbsp per foil sheet.
    Closed the foil (long sides together and folded up; the the shorter sides rolled a couple times. Not too tight; you want the steam to have space or it might explode.
    Bake about 10 - 15 mins.

    Mixed mine with some rice. The pico gave it its flavor but could easily do veggies and seasonings to your liking.
