I have zero creativity with food, I'm a stick to the recipe sort of person :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313614 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 12:58:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 1313614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: @MrsBrewer: sure, and thanks!</p> <p>Sure! It’s an easy recipe to make your own, and we just use what we have.</p> <p>For the salsa, Frontera brand (Rick Bayless) makes a good jarred tomatillo salsa, and some grocery stores also carry a canned one in the ethnic aisle that’s fine too. It’s also easy to make: roast tomatillos with garlic and jalapenos or Serrano peppers, then blend with cilantro, juice of 1 lime and about a cup of chicken or veggie stock. The homemade kind freezes very well, so you can make big batches at one time.</p> <p>For the cabbage slaw, just shred (or dice, whatever your preference) green cabbage, carrot and onion. I usually also do a squeeze of lime juice over the top and a little bit of salt and pepper. You can make this the night before if you want and refrigerate. </p> <p>Then just quickly cook up the shrimp in a little salsa, cut up an avocado and fill warm corn tortillas with the shrimp, avocado and cabbage slaw! They are very tasty and light. Usually on the side we have refried beans, and/or more of the cabbage slaw and mix some tomatoes and corn into the slaw to make it more of a side dish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313549 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 12:42:20 +0000 MrsBrewer 1313549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: That sounds delicious!!

So good, very quick and easy to make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313348 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:33:01 +0000 MrsBrewer 1313348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: That sounds delicious!!!!</p> <p>@yoursilverlining: How do you season the shrimp for shrimp tacos? I have some tortillas in the fridge that I could use for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313345 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:31:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 1313345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shrimp tacos</p> <p>Slow cooker jambalaya</p> <p>Shrimp fried rice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313334 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:29:13 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1313334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since they're already cooked, I would just thaw them and then marinate them in the following and use as a sauce on pasta! Just ignore the "uncooked" part of the shrimp below. We would marinate in a pyrex dish and then pop it in the oven for 10 minutes to warm. </p> <p>-3 cloves of minced garlic<br /> -1/3 cup olive oil<br /> -1/4 cup tomato sauce (more if you want to make it a bit more saucy)<br /> -2 Tablespoons of red wine vinegar (I do more b/c I looooove red wine vinegar)<br /> -2 Tablespoons of chopped fresh basil (If I don't have fresh, I use 1/4-1/2 tsp of dried)<br /> -1/2 teaspoon of salt<br /> 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper<br /> 1 lb of uncooked, peeled shrimp</p> <p>Combine everything and marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes or more, then bake at 350 for 20 minutes until shrimp are done. If you use cooked shrimp, just marinate and heat on 350 until warm (10 minutes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313330 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:27:59 +0000 mrs. 64 1313330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shrimp and grits, yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313327 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:27:49 +0000 MrsBrewer 1313327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a shrimp and pasta dish sounds amazing!!

Season and then saute shrimp in garlic and some butter/olive oil, add chopped tomatoes and some broth/wine and toss with spaghetti and parsley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313302 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:21:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1313302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shrimp pasta (scampi)</p> <p>Cilantro fried shrimp- appetizer</p> <p>Shrimp and cheese grits w/ real bacon crumbles.

If you want to make a meal out of it, you could warm them up in broth and add some noodles, or you can make my favorite quick supper, lemon butter shrimp with pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313290 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:18:12 +0000 blackbird 1313290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, i just like my shrimp boiled and chilled, lightly salt and peppered, with a dash of lemon juice on it. then i dunk them in cocktail sauce </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-recipe-to-make-with-shrimp#post-1313273 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 11:15:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 1313273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying to clean out our freezer and make room because we are buying an 1/8th of a cow from DH's uncle! woo hoo</p> <p>So I have a bag of frozen, cooked shrimp in our freezer.
