Head-on Shrimp Recipe
In search of a perfect recipe for the summer season? Look no further than our tried-and-true Head-on Shrimp Recipe. It’s the perfect casual, just-dig-in, recipe for summer nights when you don’t want to scarf down something super heavy, and don’t want to skimp on flavor either.
Shrimp is a staple ingredient for our go-to beach weekend menu because it’s so versatile. It lends itself so well to many different recipes and also many different courses – lunch, appetizers, or the main course. No matter how you plan to prepare, shrimp doesn’t take long to cook, which is perfect for summer nights where you’re squeezing out every minute of sunshine from the day and don’t want to be in the kitchen cooking for longer than you have to.
One of our favorite parts of our Head-on Shrimp Recipe is most of these ingredients are ingredients you may have on hand {besides the fresh shrimp, of course!}, and all of them can be picked up easily on the way to the beach. You can use cleaned shrimp if that’s what you have on hand – don't let that deter you from not making this dish! Just know, head-on = more flavor. You can typically call ahead to order shrimp to be cleaned depending on what your recipe calls for.
Good, crusty bread is mandatory to sop up all of the buttery sauce – don't be shy!
