Associated with luxury and extravagance, shrimp is definitely the top seafood in America. But that doesn’t mean shrimp has to be prim and proper all the time. If you’re craving shrimp or need ideas to prepare your current stash, check out this article for both classic and funky shrimp dishes.

1. Shrimp Scampi

Just as delicious as it sounds, shrimp scampi is a dish consisting of buttered shrimp prepared with garlic, onions, white wine, and lemon juice.

2. Fried Shrimp

While there are many ways to fry shrimp, this dish often refers to deep fried shrimp that have been breaded in flour and/or cornmeal. Cocktail sauce makes a great side dip.

3. Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo

Shrimp fettucine alfredo consists of pasta and shrimp served in a thick, creamy parmesan sauce, often with broccoli.

4. Shrimp Rangoon

An alternative to crab rangoon, shrimp rangoon are made in the same way: combining the shredded meat with cream cheese, folding it into wonton wrappers, and deep frying it.

5. Shrimp Burrito

Hey, why not? You can use all the same ingredients found in a chicken burrito to make a shrimp burrito—just hold the chicken and add shrimp.

We hope some of these shrimp meals have made your mouth water, or at least given you a new look at an old seafood favorite. Bon appétit!
