50 Satisfying Shrimp Recipes to Keep in Your Back Pocket

Our Best Ideas for Shrimp

There’s a good reason shrimp are invited to just about every party: They’re perfect for everything from appetizers to main dishes. While we love to kick off a get-together with shrimp cocktail, this

powerhouse protein is also great paired with pasta for dinner — think lemony, garlic-infused shrimp scampi recipes. They can be seasoned and fried, eaten as delicious shrimp tacosbaked into a creamy casserole, whipped up on a weeknight as shrimp and grits, and more! The next time you don’t know what to make for dinner, reach for shrimp: This rich, lemony shrimp scampi with linguini is easy enough to make on a weekday but impressive enough for special occasions.
