All About Shrimp

I don’t know about you, but I am all about shrimp.


Because I love it so much I make it a few different ways.

I bake this super simple shrimp scampi.


Yes, you read that right. It’s baked not sauteed.


And if you have leftovers, here’s a cool way to finish them off.


One of my personal faves is this easy coconut shrimp tacos that I make all summer long.


And for a fun dinner or party theme, check out this stove top clambake recipe.


I made this on Christmas Eve and we had the best time!

Easiest and tastiest dish ever
Some Tips for this Easy Shrimp Boil Recipe


This is high on my easy dinner recipes list because it is pretty simple to pull together.


And it’s not actually boiled. The shrimp is baked in foil packets.

Which makes clean-up SO MUCH EASIER.


And it tastes just as good!


There are a few things I do to make it easy for myself.


If you plan ahead with a shopping trip, most items are easy to prepare within minutes. Look for ingredients that are ready to go.


For example, I buy fresh corn out of the husk. It saves a few steps so the extra few dollars is worth it to me.


And I typically buy frozen shrimp and thaw it before cooking.

Top off with second piece of foil and seal
Enjoy!
