My bi-weekly client loves shrimp, but she keeps requesting the same 2 or 3 things (Baked Stuffed Scampi, Szechwan Shrimp (Eileen’s favorite), and Cajun Shrimp). I’d like to do something new. What are your favorite shrimp recipes?

  1. Mmm.... SP's Parsi Shrimp.
    I will go put up the recipe and then post the link here! You need one unique ingredient - jaggery, but you can substitute it.

  2. Thanks for getting me going today! Jaggery, once you find it, lasts forever if stored in the fridge.

  5. I was looking for a something to do with shrimp one day and I found this. I made it and everyone enjoyed it. I guess it is a take on scampi but with a twist.
