I am looking for some easy to make (and inexpensive to make) shrimp recipes to bring to pot luck tomorrow. Something GREAT but simple. We are in the middle of moving and most of our pans, bowls etc are packed already so anything that takes multiple dishes to make wouldnt work. Also something that is time consuming and complicated I just dont have time for right now! Since it is feeding a large amount and I am not made out of money something that the ingrediants arent super expensive is best(I have the shrimp already) Would prefer hot dishes but will consider cold ones and salads as well. So please send on all those great shrimp recipes!!!

~ BUTTERED SHRIMP ~
INGREDIENTS: 1 kg. fresh shrimps (with head and shells on) butter (around 1/4 of a bar) minced garlic 1/2 can 7-up or Sprite (yes, soda it is!) salt pepper
PROCEDURE: In frying pan, saute minced garlic in butter until golden brown. Add the shrimps. Pour in 7-up or Sprite. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer until shrimps are cooked (or becomes red). Let sauce thicken for three minutes.
This recipe serves: 4 Preparation time: 15 minutes
Ingredients ½ cup seedless cucumber, diced 12 oz. shrimp, cooked, any size ¼ red pepper 1/3 cup celery, diced ½ cup salsa, medium or hotter 1 medium avocado, raw 2 teaspoons lime juice
Preparation Instructions 1. Dice all vegetables and mix in a large bowl. 2. Add the shrimp and pour lime juice over the top. 3. Mix well and serve.
A simple spicy Oriental Shrimp I use from time to time with success is as followed:
In a hot skillet coat pan with Olive oil and add a few cloves of garlic and a healthy pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Let that sizzle foe a minute or two and pop the shrimp in the skillet. When the shrimp looks close to cooked add in a quarter of a cup of soy sauce and stir for a another minute. Squeeze a quarter of a lemon juice over skillet, add some fresh chopped parsley, toss and serve. You won't be dissapointed. To turn into meal over rice or noodle simply add sliced veggies (zuccini, carrot, onion, brocolli,celery, whatever) when you add the shrimp and after a few minutes of stir fry deglaze the skillet with a quarter to half cup of chicken or fish stock and follow the recipe from before.
