I present today this list of 8 simple recipes with frozen shrimp. Shrimp is a staple in my kitchen so I use it as an ingredient in many dishes. I am not a huge fan of seafood, but when I eat it, I usually pick shrimp or calamari.

However, my wife likes seafood and shellfish, so these recipes I make for her. My absolute favorite way to make shrimp is sauteed in a skillet with butter, garlic, wine, and lemon juice. The reason? It is very simple, quick, and flavorful.

8 Recipes with Frozen Shrimp

I like having ingredients in the house that I can use to make a quick meal without a prior plan. I work a fulltime 9-to-5 job (actually 6a-to-3p for me) so when I get home I am tired and looking for a quick, usually healthy, and flavorful meal to feed my family.

A simple ingredient like frozen shrimp is important to this approach. I can get home, decide to make shellfish, soak a handful or shrimp is a bowl of water, and get to cooking in about 15 minutes. That is perfect for me.
