What's a good recipe to use with shrimp?!


Question: What's a good recipe to use with shrimp!?
I have some extra shrimp left over from a Jambalaya recipe (between 10 and 20) and I'm wondering what to do with them!.

I'm in the mood for shrimp, but I never really ate shrimp enough to know how to make it!. They are pre-cooked already, but what recipe is good for shrimp!? I really liked the spicy shrimp at Applebees, or coconut shrimp!.

What's a good recipe to use for shrimp!? In your opinion!. I don't have many shrimp, so nothing spectacular!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Don't really have any RECIPES in my mind, but there are plenty of dishes you can just use a search engine or foodnetwork site to look up:

Cocktail Shrimp (simple, very good, can make sauce quick too)
Shrimp Creole (got the spicy aspect, might like if you like Jambalaya)
Shrimp Fried Rice (Easy, and you can mix in other meat too if you don't have enough shrimp, called Hunan Fried Rice i think)
Teriaki Shrimp, Shrimp Scampi, Coconut Shrimp (all involve marinating in some sort of material, whether it be wet and grilling them, or dry and frying them!. Overall these are probably the simplest and easiest for best return of pre-cooked shrimp in my preference =D)!.

Hope this helps, sry bout not including recipe but it's best to look around, see what things you'd want in the recipe, rather than me rant on about just 1 or two specific ones =P!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I make Ceviche (Say-vee-chay) and it's really easy!.

Cooked Shrimp cut into pieces
1/4-1/2 bunch Cilantro-chopped
1/4-1/2 Onion or 1 small onion-diced
2-3 Tomatoes-diced
3-4 limes
Salt and pepper

Stir everything together!. The reason for more or less on the ingredients, is how much or how big of each ingredient!. It's really all about the shrimp!. You can eat by itself or with chips!. Oh, and if you don't like a ton of lime, I would start out with one, and taste!. Add more if there isn't much lime taste!.

Good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
