Does anyone have a good, simple, fast shrimp recipe?

Question

Grilled preferably and I'd like to avoid garlic and too much butter.
Recipes for sauces and side dishes to go with the shrimp would be extra helpful....thanks!

Answer 1

You can reduce the butter on this if you like.

Baked Shrimp

1stick butter, melted
4lemons
1ounce ground black pepper
1bottle (16 oz.) Wishbone or Viva Italian Salad Dressing
5pounds raw shrimp, headless, unpeeled
Salt to taste
Hot French Bread

Melt butter. Thinly slice 2 lemons and squeeze juice from the remaining two. Combine all ingredients with shrimp and place in a 3-quart Pyrex or Corning Ware baking dish. Bake, tightly covered, at 375° for 45 minutes. Serve warm unpeeled shrimp with some of the sauce. Use French Bread for dipping in sauce. These are messy, but sooo good!! I usually serve with baked potato & green salad. Serves 5-6.

Fold over the shrimp and wrap with a half strip of bacon. Secure with wooden picks. Cook shrimp on grill, basting with your favorite barbecue sauce, until bacon is cooked and shrimp is pink.

Answer 4

Quick and easy? Try a package of stir-fry veggies. I put about a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet, then prepare the vegetables according to the directions on the bag. Just before they are done, I add the shrimp. It only takes a couple of minutes for the shrimp to turn pink, indicating that they are cooked. This makes a nice entree that can be served alone or with rice.

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 27 1/2-ounce jar Ragú Light Pasta Sauce

In a large skillet, lightly sauté shrimp in olive oil. Add sauce and Tabasco sauce. Simmer covered, until shrimp are cooked. Spoon sauce over hot cooked pasta; toss to coat well. Top pasta with shrimp; sprinkle with parsley.

Answer 7

Do you live near an HEB grocery? They have these little buckets of sauces in a cold case near the fishmongers display. We like the scampi (but it has garlic) & the teriyaki. I jsut peel the shrimp, lay them in a shallow dish & pour the sauce over. Then bake for about 10-20 min @ 350 degrees. Will vary based on size of shrimp.

Answer 8

-i like to grill shrimp in the summer. i always use this marinade. in a ziploc bag combine the following-
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1/4 cup of white wine
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon white (or black if you don't have white) pepper
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon each- garlic powder and onion powder
marinate peeled and de-veined shrimp for up to 1 hour. grill over medium high heat until pink.

Answer 9

I like this recipe: It is a Cajun spice mix.
First drizzle lemon juice over the shrimp.
Salt and Pepper.
Dust with paprika then a little Garlic & Onion powder.
It's quick and brings out the true sweetness of the shrimp.
