I cook well, even things I don't care for. I'm kind of stumped right now as to which direction to go with this.

ive seen a salad that looked really good that has blackened shrimp and mango in it. Then there's the pastas and whatnot.

Seeking suggestions.

Are you looking for just shrimp dish ideas a la Bubba Gump?

I would say fresh shrimp go with ceviche or cooked go with bbq shrimp over grits

Mu husband loves Greek shrimp. It is shrimp baked in a tomato sauce, with feta cheese and flamed with ouzo(optional). Emeril has a great recipe on line.

BBQ shrimp. Super easy, and sopping up the juice with a Baguette could be one of the best flavors your taste buds will ever experience.

From the Recipe Book. Easy , fast and excellent. She'll drop her pants in a Pavlovian response every time she sees you after you serve this dish.

Shrimp Diane
3/4 cup shrimp stock, in all (you can use less)
1 lb peeled shrimp
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 lb sliced button mushrooms (1/3 inch thick)
1 tsp minced garlic
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper
1/4 tsp each dried thyme, oregano and basil
1.5 sticks unsalted butter, in all
3 Tbs minced parsley
Procedure
1 Melt 1 stick of butter over medium high to high heat. Add the garlic and all dry seasonings as the butter melts. Add the green onions and mushrooms, sautéing for a minute or two. Add 1/2 cup of stock, shaking the pan to incorporate the sauce. Add the shrimp and continue shaking the pan to build the sauce. You can stir the shrimp if needed. After a minute or two, when it's back up to heat, add the remaining half stick of butter, cut into 4 chunks, along with the remaining 1/4 cup of stock. Shake the pan well as the sauce developers a cream-like consistency. Should only take a minute or so. Add the parsley and plate.
2 Serve over pasta,, though rice will work too. I've modified the Prudhomme recipe just a bit, but this works well. The recipe serves two, and I often double it, and cook several runs to serve a crowd. Just undercook the first batches just a bit and place in a holding vessel...the shrimp will finish cooking while the last runs are finished. Great dish.
3 Lastly, modify the amount of stock to suit your taste. You can get by with half the amount posted.
