Shrimp can be made into just about any dish, and some of the creative recipes they fit into will blow people's minds. While getting inventive with them is fun, there are a few staples that you'll want to keep for every occasion. Here are a few different ways to serve shrimp to friends, family, or whenever you're craving a tasty meal.

3 Shrimp Recipes You Have To Try

1. Grilled Shrimp

Grilling anything makes it taste amazing, and shrimp is no exception. While summertime BBQs are ideal for "throwin' shrimp on the Barbie," you can make this dish any time the mood strikes. The smokey taste the grill creates is enough to make this seafood taste good on its own, or you can add marinade in the form of olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Using bigger prawns will have better results, or you can skewer smaller shrimp with vegetables to make delicious shishkabobs. 

2. Shrimp & Grits

If you love southern cooking, this recipe is the one to try. Make up some grits by mixing them with water, then adding in butter and cheese. Let everything absorb, then put it to one side while you cook the shrimp. Use bacon grease from a portion of bacon you'll cook beforehand, and stir the prawns until they turn a pink color. Feel free to add in garlic, parsley, and any other seasonings that sound good, as well as the bacon. Combine everything together, including the grits, and enjoy.

3. Ceviche

While shrimp make a great main dish, they are also tasty in appetizers and dips. Instead of grilling or sauteing them, you can cut them up and mix them with tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, and chilies. Before adding shrimp to the other ingredients, boil them for one minute. Use peeled prawns to make the process easier, and after removing them from the hot water, place each piece in cold water with ice. Take the shrimp out, chop it up, place it in a bowl with the ingredients, then refrigerate. After a few hours, add cucumbers, avocados, and even mangos for a tasty treat that pairs with chips.
