Get some Zatarain's Dirty Rice mix (near the Rice a Roni) and cook it according to directions. When it's done, toss in the shrimp and stir until done. You can also use a little cooked sausage, like kielbasa. Really good. Tastes homemade.

I use them in jambalaya. I just buy the boxed variety (like zatalans) and put in the shrimp, cut up smoked sausage, a can of corn and a can of tomatoes (w/ green chiles) and let it simmer about 45 min. It is a favorite of ours and adding the extra ingredients makes it lot more flavorful and abundant. If u don't like as much spice, use reg. diced tomatoes. You will love this as it is simple and inexpensive too yet tastes as good as the restaurant variety.

Answer 9

What I do is put it on some rice white,spanish or brown rice! after the rice is done i put the shrimp on top of rice while it cools off!! it will steam the shrimp a little.

Answer 10

Try it with tossing it with mushrooms, linguine and Alfredo sauce. Grilled chicken breast topped with asparagus, baby shrimp and mozza cheese. You could use hollendaise sauce on the chicken but the cheese is quick and easy.
