6 Shrimp Recipes You’ll Want to Make on Repeat

Shrimp are the MVP of quick, flavorful cooking. They thaw fast, cook even faster and manage to feel special without demanding much in the kitchen. Whether tossed into a hot wok, charred on the grill or stirred into a flavorful coconut curry, shrimp provide an excellent canvas for bold flavors and adapt to almost any cuisine. Plus, they work just as well in a weeknight dinner as they do in a dinner party spread.

Before you dive into our favorite shrimp recipes, we’ve rounded up a few essential tips to help you get the best flavor and texture every time.

1. Choose Sustainable Shrimp: Look for the Marine Stewardship Council’s blue MSC logo or ask your fishmonger for responsibly sourced shrimp. For up-to-date sourcing information, visit SeafoodWatch.org.

2. Peeled and Deveined? Many recipes call for “peeled and deveined” shrimp, and you can often buy them that way. If not, use your Damascus Steel Paring Knife to remove the dark vein along the back of the shrimp. It’s harmless but can have a gritty texture when cooked.

3. Tail On or Off? It’s up to you. Leaving the tails on makes for a more eye-catching presentation and can be helpful when eating shrimp by hand. But if you’re adding them to pasta, curries or paella, removing the tails makes for easier eating.

1. Shrimp Fried Rice

Shrimp fried rice is a masterclass in quick, satisfying cooking: savory, smoky and packed with texture in every bite. Juicy shrimp and crispy rice mingle with garlic, scallions and a punchy sauce, all coming together in minutes. Want that classic, high-heat sear? Fire up your 12" Hybrid Wok for classic Shrimp Fried Rice. Craving the smoky, golden crunch of a hibachi grill, instead? Your Hybrid Double Burner Griddle has you covered for Hibachi-Style Shrimp Fried Rice.

2. Okra and Shrimp Coconut Curry

A one-pan wonder with serious depth, this Okra and Shrimp Coconut Curry is rich, fragrant and full of flavor. Plump shrimp and tender okra simmer in a velvety coconut milk base infused with garlic, ginger and warm spices. A splash of lime brightens everything up, balancing the richness with a little zing. Serve it over fluffy rice or scoop it up with warm naan. Either way, it’s a dish that delivers bold, comforting flavor in every bite.

3. Greek Grilled Shrimp with Feta-Tzatziki

Shrimp + Greek flavors = an unbeatable combo. This recipe has everything you want: plump, marinated shrimp, just the right amount of char and standout co-stars like zucchini and a creamy feta tzatziki. Best of all, it all comes together in your 12" Hybrid BBQ Grill Pan for maximum flavor with minimal fuss. The dip adds tang, richness and the perfect cooling contrast. Serve the shrimp with warm pita or over a crisp salad, and get ready to make this on repeat.

4. Cajun Shrimp Boil

A seafood boil is a fantastic party dish, whether it’s a tradition you grew up with or you’re just inspired by the way it brings people together over good food. Your 12QT Hybrid Stock Pot makes it easy to simmer shrimp (shells-on for max flavor), smoky sausage, tender potatoes and sweet corn in a boldly spiced broth. Spread it out on the table, roll up your sleeves and let the peeling and feasting begin. And don't sleep on the garlicky Old Bay butter sauce.

5. Couscous “Paella” with Shrimp, Peppers, and Sausage

This clever twist on paella swaps bomba rice for couscous, cutting down on cook time without sacrificing flavor. A saffron-infused tomato broth gives the dish its signature depth, while bell peppers and onions build that classic base. Juicy shrimp, sweet peas and smoky andouille sausage deliver a final flourish, making this an aromatic, satisfying meal that comes together in only 35 minutes. Want to make it a party? Start with a platter of marinated olives, jamón and Manchego and finish with a Crema Catalana (Spain’s answer to crème brulée).

6. Miso-Garlic Shrimp

Steaming shrimp in a HexClad Steamer Basket beats boiling every time, because gentler heat means juicier, more flavorful bites. And when everything is coated in a garlicky, lemony miso sauce? Game over. This dish is all about balance: rich butter, punchy umami and just enough citrus to keep things bright. Serve it as an appetizer (tails on for easy grabbing) or go tails off and toss it with pasta for a next-level dinner. Pro tip: Wipe the serving platter clean with hunks of crusty bread.
