You will always find a bag of shrimp in my freezer – they’re delicious, healthy and only take minutes to cook. Shrimp recipes tend to be quick-cooking and delicious so they’re perfect to have on hand for last-minute dinners or appetizers. Spicy garlic shrimp is a favorite at my house. I often serve this dish as a main course with pasta or our favorite fried rice recipe, but it also makes an amazing appetizer on a buffet with some Hush Puppies. Best of all, it’s ready in just minutes so it’s perfect for those busy weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.
