Shrimp Meal Ideas

I'm all for shrimp ideas too. All I use it for right now is shrimp stir fry. I have a shrimp pasta recipe I used to make, but it isn't healthy at all.

I marinate raw shrimp in italian dressing and then put them on kabobs on the grill - yum!

I usually make stir fry shrimp with egg noodles (egg noodles r low in calories) with some veggies and a bit of garlic and olive oil MMMMMMMMMM

Ummm lets see....

Shrimp, Casion seasoning, Peanut oil. Fry it up... Done.
Lay on a bed of Organic Brown Rice, and some stir fry Onions w/ Green peppers

I just tried this recipe out a couple weeks ago and it was delicious! It got a big thumbs up from my two friends I cooked for also. It will definitely go onto our frequent meal list! They have this exact recipe in the MFP food database so it must be pretty popular. I was a little wary that the seasoning for the shrimp would be kind of blah, but it was awesome and so easy! Hope you enjoy it!

P.S. They did not have tomatillos at the grocery store so I used half a large green tomato instead.

shrimp tacos, shrimp enchiladas, I've also made shrimp alfredo and it turned out yummy. You can search for these on the net for different recipes.

These all sound so yummy....

Gordan's Fisherman has Classic Grilled Shrimp(comes in a yellow bag), all ready seasoned it is awesome, you can mix it with rice, noodles salad anything. There is also a Shrimp Scampi flavor.

Love, love shrimp....

Lemon/Pepper grilled shrimp: Marinate raw deveined shrimp in lemon juice and pepper (oh if you can leave the shell on do, it makes them extra juicy) for about 10 minutes then grill til a pretty orange

Shrimp ceviche: Leave shrimp in lemon juice over night, the next day they will be cooked from the acid (but if you feel iffy just sautee them in a pan for about 2 minutes) then dice up cucumbers, tomatoes, jicama, red onions, cilantro and jalapenos to taste and serve on a lettuce wrap

Those are my two favorite ways to eat them

There's a really great garlic-basil shrimp pasta recipe in "So Easy" by Ellie Krieger. Her cookbook is amazing & healthy because she's got her masters in nutrition. Totally check it out there's some great stuff in there!

It doesn't take much heat or fire to cook shrimp. Buy the raw shrimp unless you plan to eat it right out of the bag or use it in salads or something like that. If you try to cook already cooked shrimp be prepared to eat shrimp that tastes like the rubber balls you buy out of those ten cent machines. On a grill a shrimp probably shouldn't be in much more than five minutes. What you really want to see is them get to a white-pink color. When they get to that color they are done.

I love shrimp as well. My husband and I recently made a broccoli and shrimp pizza. We used a wheat crust, olive oil, garlic and mozzarella cheese. It was sooo good!

Here is one I make a lot. It is from Spark People Recipes.
I serve it over Linquini.

shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.
