I don’t know about ya’ll, but we LOVE shrimp at our house. And apparently, a certain friend of Kate’s raved about my Shrimp to her mama after eating with us one night! The great thing about this recipe is that it is quick and easy. The hardest part is peeling the shrimp, so call your teenagers and older kids up because they can help with this part!
I usually serve this with pasta drizzled in butter or oil and a little garlic salt. You have to be kind of careful with the garlic salt, so go easy with it! I also make a Spring Mix Salad with dried cranberries , walnuts, and goat cheese crumbles to serve with it. But you could actually serve this shrimp with practically anything and even use it for tacos if you take off the tails.
Here are some recipes for sides to serve:
