Do you like buying cooked shrimp or cooking it yourself?

Not sure why there are so many complainers in the comments. If you makr the recipe as described it's fine. In fact it's better than fine, its great. If you don't like the recipe then don't make it and stop complaining. Simple as that. 
Hats off to Lena for the great recipe. A keeper for me. Thank you. Five stars and Two thumbs up. 👍👍

Wow! This recipe is AMAZING. The best shrimp salad I've ever tasted (including deli-made) and so easy to pull together. I made this from left over shrimp-cocktail shrimp from a party for a gathering the following day. I wasn't sure how it would turn out without cooking the shrimp myself, but it was simply amazing. I chopped the shrimp into small pieces and served this as a dip with crackers — everyone raved about it. It's also BEAUTIFUL as a dip with the green from the celery and dill and the purple from  the onion. It doesn't get better than this, folks. Five stars all the way.

Great, fast, easy recipe.  The shrimp turned out perfectly and it was a breeze to put together! Thanks

I made this salad tonight and it turned out really well. I soaked my shrimp in obey before cooking and I added whipped cream cheese. I sautéed my onions and celery, because my husband doesn't like the raw taste of the vegetables.

This was so good. I used some leftover grilled shrimp that had been marinated in honey sriracha garlic sauce. I added the bell pepper suggested by another person. This is such a good dish. I used a little more sriracha to spice it up on my lettuce wrap. I will keep this recipe!

this was so easy and so good. I used 1/2 bag large frozen shrimp. cut the shrimp in halves. will use less lemon zest and juice next time - probably 1/2 the amount. cut the lemony flavor with 1/2 t baking soda. did not use onion. fresh dill is a must. will make again and again!!

I totally agree with others, you have to add Old Bay. I also add chopped green or red peppers and finely diced cucumbers and chopped up hard boiled eggs.

Good recipe. However, I'm from Maryland...raised on the Susquehanna. "Old Bay" is a must!!!

I make this often and my family loves it!

Are the shells removed from the tail?  Seems like they should be.

These Shrimp Salad Lettuce Wraps Are Light & Delicious

Easy shrimp recipe, coated in Mediterranean spices and skillet-cooked in a light white wine-olive oil sauce with shallots, bell peppers and tomatoes. Ready in 25 minutes or less. Be sure to read through the tips and check out the step-by-step photos and video above.

Easy Mediterranean Shrimp Recipe

Lebanese Rice recipe (or make rice according to package), optional

shrimp

tbsp all-purpose flour

tsp smoked Spanish paprika

salt and pepper

tsp coriander

cayenne

tsp sugar

tbsp butter (I prefer to use ghee clarified butter)

tbsp Private Reserve extra virgin olive oil

shallots (about 3 1/2 ounces), thinly sliced

garlic cloves, chopped

green bell pepper

tomato

broth

dry white wine

lemon juice

parsley leaves

First, make Lebanese rice according this recipe. Leave covered and undisturbed until ready to serve. Alternatively, you can make brown or white rice according to store-bought package. (Optional)

Pat shrimp dry and place it in a large bowl. Add flour, smoked paprika, salt and pepper,  coriander, cayenne, and sugar. Toss until shrimp is well-coated.

In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium/medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until fragrant (be sure not to burn the garlic.) Add bell peppers. Cook another 4 minutes or so, tossing occasionally.

Now add the shrimp. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the diced tomatoes, broth, white wine and lemon juice. Cook for 5 minutes or so until shrimp turns bright orange.  Finally, stir in chopped fresh parsley.

Serve immediately with cooked rice (See more suggestions below.)

Delicious! Followed the version on YouTube. Tasted great and looked beautiful.

Welll...what to say, except THANK YOU.  I'm an accomplished cook who's trying to turn around the kitchen (o to speak) in this historic Inn in Virginia. One of the hurdles iis that we are 36 miles from the nearest town, but, having read your recipe yesterday, I had shrimp delivered today and will be cooking your recipe tonight, for a party of guests.  Thank you so much for the utterly clear instructions.  I hould emphasize that, being from the mountains of East Tennessee, I know next to nothing about seafood.  All i can is thank you for this recipe.....you're a fine teacher.
Sincerely,, David Terry

I made this after a late work night. I followed the recipe exactly. It was on the table in about 30 minutes and was so delicious and healthy!

So so good. Enjoyed till the last bite.
Have tried quite a few of yr recipes &amp; they are all so good. 
Thank you for making it easy for me.

For me, the smoked paprika was absolutely overwhelming.....I could barely eat it.  I gave it 3 stars because my husband actually liked it.

Delicious! Great go-to recipe. A favorite in this house and with friends.

I think this will become one of my go to recipe's. I did add sliced black olives to it.

Fantastic.  Subbed jar of fire roasted red peppers for fresh. Added MeatChurch Holy Voodoo to shrimp dredge.  Served on top of whole wheat linguine. It's a keeper!!!

Fantastic!  Followed the recipe exactly.   I served over thin spaghetti  with some crumbled feta.  I will be making this again for sure!

Easy Mediterranean Shrimp Recipe! The perfect dinner in minutes

Shrimp in whiskey sauce is an easy and impressive dish that you can serve with just about anything!

Shrimp in Whiskey Sauce (Langostinos al Whisky)

garlic

whiskey

lemons

unsalted butter

parsley

salt

Depending on how you purchased the shrimp, you have various ways to prepare them. In Spain, it is typical to buy the prawns whole, and not to devain them or peel them prior to preparing. This will give the sauce a richer flavor, but you need to be sure the prawns are fresh when preparing them with their heads attached. You may also choose to buy them already shelled, with only the tail attached for asthetics, and devained.

Once you have the raw shrimp prepared to go into the pan, heat the olive oil in a wide skillet (you don't want to crowd the shrimp) over a high heat.

When the oil is almost smoking (but not quite) add in the prawns and let cook for about 40 seconds per side, sauteeing them bit to coat them evenly in the oil.

Add the garlic and give everything a quick sautee, then remove the prawns with a slotted spoon and let them rest on a plate.

Add the cup of whiskey to the skillet and lower the heat. Let the sauce reduce about 1/3.

Add the lemon juice and let it simmer for a few more minutes.

Add back in the shrimp and coat with the sauce.

Add in the butter and finally the parsley.

Season with salt and serve immediately.

My mother-in-law's gambas al ajillo recipe is one of Spain's best. Piping hot garlic shrimp, smothered in olive oil with a slightly spicy kick!

Gambas al Ajillo Recipe (Spanish Garlic Shrimp)

Extra virgin olive oil (Spanish brands preferred!)

butter

cayenne peppers

My mother-in-law makes these in individual sized clay dishes (cazuelitas) that you can put directly on the stove to cook in. Here I'll assume most will make the dish in one large pan and then plate separately.

If the shrimp haven't been shelled, remove the shells

Completely cover the bottom of a large frying pan with olive oil and slowly heat along with the garlic and cayenne pepper pods.

When the garlic begins to sizzle add the shrimp and sauté a moment.

Once everything starts to sizzle again, add a splash of sherry and a sprinkle of salt.

Simmer for about a minute until the shrimp are cooked through (don't overcook!)

Remove from the heat and divide into four servings.

Top each serving with a touch of butter, and give it a quick stir before serving.

Whether you serve it as a side dish or a main, Rum-Glazed Shrimp from Delish.com is sure to please.

Spiced Rum-Glazed Shrimp

lime

red pepper flakes

green onion,

Delicious. I would reduce the amount of soy sauce next time though.

Made these for dinner last night and they were FANTASTIC! I didn't have any Captain Morgan's, so I substituted 1/4 cup of seafood stock.  I put them on skewers and grilled them, much easier to handle that many shrimp.  I will DEFINITELY going to be adding this to our dinner recipe rotation.

We've made this twice. We love it. We put it on skewers and grilled them. YUM!

Best! You will feel like you are in the Keys!

Spiced rum is the perfect accompaniment to this salty/sweet shrimp.

Fire Up The Grill For This Spiced Rum Shrimp

You only need one pot and 8 ingredients to make this easy and flavorful Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Rice. Fast, easy, and delicious!

One Pot Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Rice

shrimp (41-60 size) (4.99)

lemon (0.60)

garlic (0.32)

long grain white rice (0.93)

chicken broth (0.26)

water (0.00)

tsp Tony Chachere's seasoning* (0.10)

Tbsp chopped parsley (0.09)

If your shrimp is frozen or unpeeled, make sure you thaw and peel the shrimp before beginning. Juice half of the lemon (you&#39;ll need about 2 Tbsp juice) and slice the rest of the lemon for garnish.

Mince the garlic. Add the garlic to a deep skillet along with the butter and sauté the garlic over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.

Add the rice and continue to sauté for 1-2 minutes more. You should hear the rice begin to snap and crackle a little as it sautés in the hot butter.

Carefully add the chicken broth, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, water, Tony Chachere&#39;s (or seasoning salt), and chopped parsley. Stir to combine.

Place a lid on the skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high. Allow the broth to come up to a full boil. Once it reaches a boil, turn the heat down to low and let it continue to simmer for 10 minutes.

After simmering for 10 minutes, most of the broth should be absorbed by the rice. Lift the lid briefly in order to scatter the shrimp over the surface of the rice. Replace the lid and allow the skillet to continue to cook over low for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and allow it to rest, lid in place, for an additional five minutes. After resting, lift the lid. The shrimp should be opaque and pink.

Use a fork to carefully fluff the rice and partially stir the cooked shrimp into the rice. Add the leftover lemon slices and sprinkle with extra chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.

A one-skillet meal of seasoned sauteed shrimp prepared in a sauce with coconut milk, diced tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and basil.

THAI-INSPIRED CREAMY COCONUT SHRIMP

olive oil, (divided)

Salt and black pepper, (to taste)

smoked paprika

yellow onion, (finely diced)

garlic, (minced)

basil leaves, (finely chopped)

ginger

(14-oz can) diced tomatoes, (well drained)

unsweetened coconut milk, ((shake can before opening))

Lime juice, (to serve)

Chopped fresh cilantro, (for garnish)

Chopped fresh basil, (for garnish, optional)

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.

Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Add shrimp to the hot oil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through.

Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.

Wipe down the skillet, set it over medium-high heat and add remaining olive oil.

To the heated oil add the onions and cook for 3 minutes, or until softened.

Stir in garlic, basil, and ginger; cook for 20 seconds, or until fragrant.

Add diced tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, or until just softened.

Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer; continue to simmer for 5 minutes.

Add shrimp to the coconut milk and cook for 1 more minute, or until heated through.

Remove from heat.

Squeeze lime juice over the shrimp.

Garnish with cilantro and basil.

Serve.

Chili Lime Shrimp from Delish.com has the freshest flavors for the summer.

Chili Lime Shrimp

c. lime juice

extra-virgin olive oil

chili powder

tsp. chili flakes

cumin

kosher salt

c. cilantro

lime,

The other review helped. Drain all the liquid from the shrimp. Put about a 1/4 cup of marinade in the pan. Cook out all liquid until you just have spices and oil. Throw in shrimp and cook until browned on both sides. Put on plate on in bowl. Add cilantro then add salt and chili powder if necessary. Delicious!!! Especially on top of an arugula salad.

Loved how easy this was. I used my stove top grill and they were amazingly tasty.

I grilled the shrimp on skewers and it was great. Enough spice and taste. The shrimp should be patted dry before marinating. Maybe that’s why some people thought it was tasteless. And 1/2 hour marinating time will not “ceviche” them either.

Where does the zest of lime come into play?

This didn't come out anything like the picture. The shrimp didn't have much flavor. I ended up simmering the marinade and added a thickner.

A delicious, buttery baked shrimp dish loaded with butter, garlic, shallots, and dry sherry.
