Making lobster tails tonight for dinner?

Question

I will be making lobster tails tonight for dinner, I want to have shrimp as a side dish but don't know how I should cook it? Any ideas or recipes would be great : ) thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If they are pink they are already cooked and just need to be heated, whether you grill boil or steam, the same applies to the prawns.

Be careful when cooking both at the same time as you want to have them both cooked at the same time and not one overcooked whilst the others are still cooking.

Answer 2

I like shrimp simply cooked on the stove top over medium heat in olive oil (or butter if you prefer), minced garlic, lemon, a little cayenne, and salt and pepper. Any variation of that would be great as well: you could do garlic, basil and lemon. Or Cajun seasoning. You can also do BBQ shrimp wrapped in bacon- if you're using larger shrimp, just wrap in a half piece of bacon, smother in BBQ sauce (or seasonings of your choice) and bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes. If you're using smaller shrimp first, cook the bacon slightly before wrapping, and bake the same. Or another simple recipe: line a cookie sheet with foil, melt an entire stick of butter on it, lay lemon slices flat, top with shrimp, salt and pepper the whole thing and bake at 425 for 15-20, super easy and delicious!

Enjoy dinner!

Answer 3

Just stir fry them on a pan in butter and garlic for a couple minutes till they turn pink. Don't over cook it. And don't forget to take the **** out of the shrimp before you cook it.

If you have the time, a nice shrimp risotto would be perfect.
