Hey, Seafoodies!
It’s no secret around here that we love shrimp. We aren’t alone. Shrimp is POPULAR with U.S. consumers, who chow down on an average of nearly 4.5 pounds of shrimp per person annually. And it’s no wonder, because shrimp is versatile, takes minutes to cook and … simply craveable. We’ve rounded up 20 easy shrimp recipes to have at your fingertips.
Shrimp is easy to incorporate into any menu or flavor profile and can be sautéed, baked, grilled, simmered or air-fried. Another thing about shrimp: It loves you back! It’s a naturally low-calorie food with an impressive nutritional pedigree including exceptional protein, omega-3 fatty acids and more than 20 vitamins and minerals to keep your mind sharp, your heart healthy and your muscles strong. It’s a winning choice to add to your meal plan, if you’re trying to work toward the two to three servings of seafood recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Today we’re sharing 20 of our very own Dish on Fish shrimp recipes—breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks—to get this shrimp party started! Whether you feel like dining al fresco with skewers on the grill or curling up inside with a cozy bowl of shrimp-squash risotto, we’ve got you covered. At breakfast time, fuel up with a saucy, shrimp-stuffed burrito or a cheesy casserole layered with shrimp, eggs and kale. For appetizers, shrimp can be air-fried with coconut or tempura batter, stirred into spinach-artichoke dip or wrapped in rice paper for a refreshing spring roll. And for the main event, you can sauté or bake shrimp with veggies, toss it into pasta, grill it or even top a pizza with it.
These recipes all taste great, come together quickly and are what we like to call entry-level— suitable for newbie and advanced Seafoodies alike! With dishes like these at your fingertips (and a bag of shrimp in your freezer), you’ll always be ready to wow your family and guests with something shrimp-tacular. Happy eating, everyone!
