When I made my Instant Pot Cauliflower Rice, I had a little surprise in store for today’s post: Easy Shrimp in Curry Sauce. I say surprise because if you’re on a budget any dish with shrimp might be surprising. I’ll show you, towards the bottom of the post, how to bring in your shrimp without tossing the budget out of the window.
Shrimp Etouffee
Sometimes I just crave the flavors of Naw’lins. Cajun, Creole, it doesn’t matter. And with Mardi Gras just around the corner, I just had to make Shrimp Etouffee.
Roasted Red Pepper Shrimp Risotto
If you’re watching your budget, chances are you’re not eating a lot of seafood, but when a holiday like Valentine’s comes around, you’re probably going to want something a little special. Maybe something like this Roasted Red Pepper & Shrimp Risotto.
Shrimp and Grits with a Cajun Gastrique
Even if you’ve had Shrimp & Grits before, you’ve probably never had any like these. Deeply spiced, earthy shrimp, garlic, and peppers with bacon. The dish is fantastic on its own – but this has a twist – it’s drizzled with a Cajun Gastrique.
Shrimp Po’ Boys
Tyler Florence…my hero! I used his basic recipe for Po’ Boys – with a few deletions and additions, and it is amazing! His Creole sauce is so good, my son went nuts over it. While these may look like a basic Po’ Boy, I promise you, they are anything but. I’ve had them in many different areas of the country, and these beat out every restaurant version.
