Hey there!

I make many recipes with Shrimp, but the easier ones would be an Indian dish and an East Asian dish!.

Shrimp Curry:

2 lbs!. Shelled, Uncooked Shrimp (any kind you prefer)
1 Can of Coconut Milk
1 tbsp Mustard Seeds
2 Jalape?os
3 tbsp Canola/Cooking Oil
1 Large Onion
3 Cloves of Garlic
1 tsp Ginger
2 tsp Tumeric
2 tsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Cumin
Salt to Taste (about 1-3 tsp depending on your preference, or use fish sauce)

In a large pot, heat oil and add mustard seeds (seeds will pop so cover the pot)!. Quickly add chopped onions before mustard seeds burn!. Slice Jalape?o in thin, long strips and throw into pot!. Mix well and sauté onions till golden brown, add minced/crushed garlic and crushed ginger!. Mix, then add all spices (tumeric, curry powder, cumin) and stir around for 1-2 minutes!. Add coconut milk and mix well, allow coconut to simmer!. Add shrimp and let cook (shrimp will curl and turn pink when cooked)!. Add salt or fish sauce a little at a time starting with 1 tsp and working up till it suits your taste!. Serve over rice!.

Sweet & Sour Shrimp (Great with Chicken!):

2 lbs Shelled, Uncooked Shrimp
5 tbsp Sweet and Sour Sauce (refer to photo below)
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Black Pepper
2 tbsp Canola/Cooking Oil

In a large bowl, mix shrimp, sweet and sour sauce, salt and pepper!. Add oil in a large saucepan on High heat!. When oil is hot, add shrimp (try to avoid the excess sauce on the bottom of the bowl) and let cook for a while until sauce drys out!. The sauce will caramelize with the shrimp!. Add chopped chives on top and serve with rice!.

Hope I helped! If you are interested in other recipes, let me know =]
