Favorite Shrimp Recipe for dinner.

[Tinker'n'Fun]

I have about 1 1/2 pounds easy peel uncooked shrimp. I was going to make bbq bacon shrimp for dinner. Now I am second guessing myself.

What is your favorite shrimp recipe??

Probably a creole-style shrimp. Saute garlic, green and/or red peppers, and onions. Add canned or fresh diced tomatoes. Add generous amount of Old Bay seasoning. Add raw fully-peeled shrimp for the last few minutes. (Or steam shrimp separately first with Old Bay). Serve over rice.

This sounds good. No Old Bay but do have a creole seasoning?

Please keep them coming. Thanks.

My mom's easy shrimp scampi:

1 1/2 lbs. large shrimp
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
4 Tbsp. minced garlic
6 green onions, thinly sliced (she made it once without these and there honestly was no difference in taste)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Heat butter. Add garlic and onion and cook 1-2 minutes until softened. Add shrimp, wine, lemon juice and parsley; cook until heated through (and shrimp are pink if uncooked). Serve over linguine.

I absolutely CRAVE this!

Does she peel and prior to cooking, they are de-veined but have easy-peel shells.

Oh yes, no shells or tails.

Thanks, this is also in the running. Now have three. I will see if I get anymore from now until DH gets home then let him choose. They all are in the same time prep cook zone.

I sauté my shrimp with garlic and snow peas. And after a few minutes I add cashews. And some butter chicken bottled sauce (2-4 tbsp, depending on how much u make). Serve over jasmine rice. Had this for lunch today. Very yummy

My recipe is kind of like that.
I poor the mixture onto pasta and sometimes I'll add a bunch of grated fresh Parmesan as well

We are having shrimp tonight too! This may be too late for you tonight but we are trying the new Old El Paso fish taco kit only using shrimp. I have done shrimp tacos in the past though without the kit. I saute the peeled, deveined shrimp for a few minutes with some taco seasoning. Put them in heated flour or corn tortillas (I prefer flour), top with some avocado and purple cabbage. I don't use taco sauce but top with some sour cream flavored with dry ranch dressing.

I've done this low country boil from Better Homes & Gardens, and it was really good. I didn't use the potatoes and substituted smoked beef sausage for Andouille sausage.

SHRIMP AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE

1 (8-ounce) package wild rice
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (10 3/4-ounce can) condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
Salt and pepper

Cook the rice according to package directions minus 1/4 cup water. Drain and cool.

Bring 2 cups water and 1/2 tablespoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan and cook the shrimp for 1 minute. Drain immediately and set aside.

Heat the butter in saucepan and saute the pepper and onion until soft, about 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl, combine the rice, soup, 1 1/2 cups of cheese, shrimp and vegetables. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well. Spray a 9-inch square aluminum cake pan or an 11 by 7-inch glass casserole dish with vegetable spray. Place the mixture in the pan and top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly.

We just take cleaned and peeled shrimp and place them on a foil lined cookie sheet. Melt 1/2 stick of butter (or more if you want) and pour over shrimp. Next, sprinkle 1/2 a packet of Good Season Italian Dressing mix over shrimp. Bake for about 10 minutes or so at 400F . Serve over rice. Yummy and easy.

I personally don't have creole seasoning in the house, but I know it's available. Not sure exactly what's in it....you can look it up and you might have the separate ingredients on hand.

I always peel the shrimp fully before cooking. Don't like how most restaurants leave that last little segment unpeeled along with the tail fins.

Thanks everyone else who's contributing. Everything sounds great.

We tried this a few months ago and loved it. We have made it a couple times since. It says to cook the shrimp in the oven, but I generally just do it in a saute pan. I know, it sounds weird, mayo in the sauce, but it works.
