Shrimp lover

I enjoy shrimp many ways. Boil in the shell with a bay leaf, red pepper flakes and peppercorns; drain and chill. Marinate and grill. Stir-fries, sauteed in butter, onion or garlic. Great in tacos too!

I love shrimp creole! Might be the healthiest of cajun dishes. soupspiceeverythingnice.blogspot.com/2015/05/shrimp-creole-re-post.html

Try the seafood section. I love making their recipes, they have everything under the sun!

I just posted this in another thread... Then saw your post! Sorry if you've already seen it.

Here's a quick one and only about 200 calories per serving. My kids really like it too.

Lemon-garlic baked shrimp and broccoli

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Topping: Combine 1/2 c. panko or plain bread crumbs, grated rind of one lemon, and 1 t. olive oil. Stir well and set aside.

Chop one head of broccoli into bite-sized pieces. Put it in a large glass covered dish with a bit of water and microwave for 4 minutes; drain the water. Stir in 1 pound raw peeled and deveined shrimp, 2 t. olive oil, a clove or two of chopped garlic, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Add a little salt and black pepper. Stir the topping again and then sprinkle it over the top.

Bake for about 12 minutes or until the topping starts to brown and the shrimp is done. Be careful not to overcook it, since the shrimp will have a head start on cooking when you stir it into the hot broccoli.

You can serve this with pasta or rice; sometimes I eat it alone if I'm running low on calories for the day or if I want dessert later.

I just like them cooked in a bit of butter with garlic, a side of veg and whatever carb you like is an easy dish.

I am also a huge fan of red curry coconut soup with shrimp

Love this for lunch, add lots more shrimp though! 3-4 shrimp per bowl of soup is insufficient in my opinion. I worked out the calories and it is about 350 for a bowl of this delicious soup if you add more shrimp. The recipe also makes 4 days worth. I make it up, but don't trust cooked shrimp for four days, my husband and I split the recipe and eat it over two days. You can just mix up the broth concentrate and cook the shrimp as you need them as well.

@meganridenour is it this one Seafood Risotto? The reviews are so high for it, that I thought it may be.

Greek Shrimp Asparagus Risotto sounds pretty interesting too!

One key to shrimp, or any seafood item, is not to overcook it. You do not want to have it get dry and rubbery.

This. When you cook shrimp perfectly, it will be shaped like the letter C. If it's shaped like the letter O, it's overcooked.

Stir fry is my favorite, especially with broccoli and a hot garlic sauce.
I add it to pasta sauce, sandwich wraps, salads, tacos. Snack on it with cocktail sauce. Grill shrimp and veggie skewers.

I make a pasta sauce using a large can chopped tomatoes, a TON of garlic chopped (1 to 2 tbsp...it's good for you!!), Chili flakes for heat (lots!), little or large splash white wine, fresh parsley and fresh basil if you can get it. And of course a pound of shrimp. Mix into a pound of linguini. My family goes nuts for this and I think it's nutritious.

Saute with a little butter and cajun seasoning.

Or saute with parsley garlic and lemon and serve with a avocado sauce over linguini or zoodles

This is really good.
