Among the most versatile crustaceans out there, shrimps are a popular ingredient for appetizers and main courses.
The reason behind the humble shrimp’s popularity is its delicate taste and the ease with which it can be cooked. A shrimp can be prepared in just a matter of minutes when it’s pan-fried. The succulent texture and sweet taste make it stand out from other seafood too. Moreover, its ability to remain frozen for a long time offers immense convenience.
There are numerous ways to prepare shrimp dishes at home and in restaurants. As the food industry has evolved, cooks all over the world have come up with all kinds of sauces, vinaigrettes, and condiments to compliment shrimp dishes. Let’s explore some below.
3 Great Shrimp Dishes you must try
Popcorn Shrimp
This could be your new favorite comfort food. Similar to popcorn chicken, popcorn shrimp can be made by lightly coating the shrimp in a batter made from flour, cornmeal, and cream with some salt and pepper. Deep fry the shrimps and enjoy them with a dip of your choice. Don’t forget to drizzle some lemon juice for an extra tangy kick!
Shrimp Alfredo Pasta
We all love a classic Alfredo! Switch things up and add shrimp instead of chicken to the sauce before adding the alfredo in. Sear the shrimps in a pan with a hint of garlic, before throwing them in the sauce.
Top it off with some parsley and parmesan, and enjoy it with a Caribbean-style fruit punch at home. Order the Caribbean-style fruit punch from us if you’re in Tampa!
Mango, avocado and Shrimp Salad
Shrimps go great with salads. Make your taste buds tingle by tossing avocado, kale, mango, and shrimp with a dash of lemon all together to make a zesty fresh salad. The sweetness from the mango and the buttery taste of the avocado—along with the spiciness from the shrimp—will give your taste buds something to remember.
You can always add other ingredients such as pomegranate seeds or cranberries to the salad to make it more flavorful, but be mindful about keeping shrimp the star of the dish.
