what are some ways to eat shrimp?

I’ve tried to barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. I’ve made shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried, pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, and shrimp sandwich. But what other ways of cooking it are there?

Shrimp Quesadillas are my family’s favorite. A bit high in fat, though.

Start by making a quick Shrimp Scampi:

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp (about 16 to 24)
1/3 cup butter
4 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tbs lemon juice.

Melt butter and add shrimp, garlic and juice. Cook about 2 minutes until shrimp are pink. Set shrimp aside and keep warm.

Then wipe out your skillet, spray with Cooking Spray.

Layer shrimp, your choice of cheese and any other ingredients you wish (onions, salsa) between two tortillas and pan-grill until cheese is melted and both sides are crispy.

YUMMY!!!

Is there such a thing as Surf and Turf Jambalaya?

You know, steak and seafood with a Cajun style twist?

Any expert chefs out there who can give me a recipe?

I am not an expert chef, but I am a big fan of Jambalaya and watched many an expert chef on Food Network.

The whole point of Jambalaya is a catch-all of various meats and rice and veggies. Its sort of whatever is left over. Most common meats are sausage (like andouille), chicken and shrimp or crawfish. I don’t see why you couldn’t use beef too if you wanted. Zatarain’s makes an excellent box mix – just add the meat of your choice. If you wanted to use beef, sausage or chicken, I recommend partially searing it before adding it to the mix – you’ll get a nice color and flavor that way. The box has directions for when to add the shrimp (or crawfish).

While this is not Jambalaya, you could certainly use cajun seasoning on steak and shrimp kabobs on the grill and that would be quite delicious. Just be sure to keep the meats separate since their cooking times are radically different!
