A Good Simple Shrimp Recipe?!
A Good Simple Shrimp Recipe?
I want a simple, but different shrimp recipe. No scampi, fried shrimp, etc. Also, not too spicy as my daughter will need to eat it as well. Oh the last thing is no pork in it.
Thanks.

Try this, its in one of my cookbooks and it is EASY!!
I think it is in my Checkered Flag Cooking Cookbook about tailgating NASCAR and other motorsports. So all of those recipes are easy. A longer version is in my Smoke In The Mountains Cookbook.
Good Luck - Kent "The Deck Chef" Whitaker
1 bag frozen LARGE or MED LARGE deveined shelless shrimp PRE COOKED
1 Can chopped pineapple
Her favorite seasoning - A few large dashes such as TACO seasoning, Italian Seasoning, Coconut, Salt Pepper and minced garlic.
Thaw the shrimp in a bowl in the fridge. Drain water and paper towel dry. In a large skillet combine the shrimp the undrained can of pineapple, some of her favorite spices, some chopped onion, minced garlic and minced green pepper if desired. I like a bit of ginger.
Cook over medium high heat in a nonstick skillet to heat up the Shrimp and combine the flavors. Top with a bit of shredded coconut and serve hot.
You can even make a dipping sauce from some sour cream, Pina Colada mix, coconut and brown sugar.
HAVE FUN!!!

make shrimp fried rice. there are plenty of shrimp fried rice recipes at www.recipezaar.com. and your daughter may like that.
Try shrimp on the grill. Marinate in a little olive oil and garlic, and add the spices you prefer, and throw it on the grill for a few minutes, or stir fry it. Also a good easy one is to mix shrimp with some pesto & pan fry, then you can toss it with pasta, feta cheese & olives.
You can make shrimp casserole so easy! This works with any seafood! Just cook the shrimp, and then put it in those little individual casserole dishes. But tons of butter, garlic and pieces of cheese. Then top it off with some bread crumbs. Toss it under the broiler until the cheese melts and everything is warmed together. . . . .It's really easy. You can use a cream sauce or wine if you perfer no cheese. It's the same idea as if you were making a lobster pie or something similar. . . .I also usually make coconut shrimp as an appetizer, or just broil some shrimp and serve them over a rice pilaf. To broil the shrimp I cover them with some olive oil, onion powder, paprika and garlic powder. Then I put them in the broiler for about 10 minutes or until they are just pink. Large ones are great on their own or as a snack I put out around game time. Smaller ones I use the same recipe, and then toss together with a rice. We always have shrimp on hand so I try a lot of different things. I even have tossed them on the grill and put a little garlic and even some Italian salad dressing on them with skewers of vegetables. They grill up really quick, and get a nice flavor. Everyone liked that combo, but even plain on the grill they are nice quick and easy.
Simple - boil in salted water, peel and dip in catchup & eat. If she's not allergic to shrimp her tastes buds will start to crave a dip that is a bit more complex.
