Madras Shrimp
Just tell your guests you’ve been at this for hours. They’ll believe you because that’s how good it tastes! Nobody has to know that this is an incredibly simple, fast dish to make. Don’t just save it for company, either. It’s so quick and easy that it makes a great weeknight meal, too. If you…
Sichuan Style Shrimp with Spinach
Szechuan? Sichuan? It’s all about which system is used to write Chinese using the Roman alphabet. Szechuan is the Wade-Giles spelling, from the system developed by British diplomats in China in the 19th century. It’s being replaced in many places by Sichuan, which is from the Pinyin system developed in and used by China in…
Grilled Lemon-Bay Shrimp
Fresh, bright, delicious! This is one of my favorite recipes for the summer. It’s so simple, but the way the bay and lemon complement the shrimp is just perfect. It’s really easy to make, too. Sometimes I buy my shrimp already peeled and deveined because it saves a fair amount of time and effort. If…
Nutty Shrimp
This dish has it all: quick, easy, and delicious. And unless you’re on a low-sodium diet or allergic to shrimp or peanuts, it’s also a very healthy meal. You won’t need to wash very many dishes, either. One pan to cook the shrimp, one to cook the rice, and one bowl for each of you…

I know, you feel so sorry for me, don’t you? We did have a lovely time. Warm weather, the sound and smell…
Chipotle-Mint Shrimp With Chorizo
I’m still not sure what prompted me to try pairing shrimp with chorizo. (It’s Mexican style chorizo, by the way, not Spanish.) I’m so glad I did, though, because it was delicious! There’s something about the heartiness of the sausage that’s a perfect complement to the lightness of the shrimp. Each holds the seasoning a…
Plank Grilled Shrimp With Summer Veggies & Pasta
Summer splendor on a fork! This is the perfect meal for a hot summer day. Fresh, with a delicate balance of flavors. A little smoky from the planks, but not so as to overpower the veggies; a little subtle sweetness from the balsamic, peppery zip from the basil, and mini mouth-explosions from the salt. It…
