And now, our top shrimp recipes!
As two cookbook authors who eat mostly a Mediterranean diet, we often make shrimp recipes for dinner because they’re so fast and our whole family loves them. There are also lots of creative ways to serve this shellfish. You can make it into rice bowls, stir fries, tacos, curry, or serve with pasta like crowd favorite shrimp scampi. There are shrimp appetizers like nachos, and even a good old fashioned shrimp boil. Let’s get started! Also try: Garlic Shrimp Pasta.
Look for wild caught if possible, or find a well-regulated farm. Fish that is wild caught in your country is usually a sustainable choice. There are also quality options in well-regulated farms; see Seafood Watch Consumer Guide. Frozen shrimp is also high quality. A myth about fish is that “fresh is best.” As soon as an animal dies it begins to decompose; freezing suspends this process. If the shrimp is frozen when it was caught and stays frozen until it gets to your kitchen, it will be higher quality than a raw fish that has taken a week to get to your plate.
