Shrimp and lemon juice

No matter which recipe you choose, you’ll want to add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to really take it up a notch. Our favorite flavor combination is shrimp and lemon – it’s zesty and refreshing, especially during hot summer months. And to add that perfect finishing touch, don’t forget to squeeze some fresh lemon juice over your shrimp dish using your Main Squeeze lemon wedge squeezer. 

Garlic Shrimp

Believe me when I say that anyone can make it – even those who don’t consider themselves to be particularly skilled in the kitchen.

All you need are a few basic ingredients:

  • 1 kilogram of raw shrimp
  • garlic
  • parsley
  • olive oil
  • sea salt

To start, simply make your own garlic oil by crushing garlic and mixing it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can even add some spice if you’re feeling daring! Let the oil brew for a day to really bring out the flavors, then strain it.

This garlic oil is a handy ingredient to have on hand for so many other dishes too.One of our favorites is frying scallops in it, just a minute on each side.

And the best part? Garlic won’t burn in the pan, so you can enjoy all of its deliciousness without any bitterness.

Next, finely chop up some fresh parsley – it’s the perfect herb to pair with seafood.

Although some may prefer to clean their shrimp, we find that leaving the shells on results in a more juicy and flavorful dish.

If you’re using frozen shrimp, defrost them properly and give them a good squeeze to release any excess water.

Heat up some garlic oil in a large skillet and fry those shrimps up quickly over high heat.

As soon as they turn a nice shade of red, take them off the heat and cover with a lid for a couple of minutes. No need to keep them cooking for too long – just cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes and they’ll come out perfectly tender.

Don’t forget to add a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a pinch of coarse sea salt for extra flavor, and finish it off with a squeeze of lemon juice using our handy Main Squeeze lemon squeezer.

Remember, the main principle with seafood is to cook it until it’s just right – better to be under than over.

Shrimp and Arugula salad

This dish is seriously delicious, and it’s super simple to make too. This shrimp salad requires minimal prep time, leaving you with more time to enjoy your meal with friends and family. Not only is it a great option for a light dinner, but it’s also packed with flavor and nutrition. To make it, you’ll need:

  • raw shrimp
  • arugula
  • cherry tomatoes
  • parmesan
  • olive oil
  • garlic
  • sea salt and ground black pepper

Simply clean the shrimp, remove the intestinal vein, and toss everything together for a delicious and healthy meal. And don’t forget, if you save the shrimp shells and heads, you can use them to make a delicious bisque that’s sure to impress!

Start by cleaning the shrimp from the shell and removing the intestinal vein . W like to leave the shrimp tails on for that extra touch of elegance, but feel free to remove them if that’s your preference.

After cleaning the garlic, be sure to take out the core to avoid any bitterness. Then, saute garlic and hot peppers in hot olive oil until crispy, before throwing the garlic away. Finally, cook the shrimp in the same oil for just a couple of minutes on each side, ensuring they don’t become rubbery by overcooking.

Serve on a bed of arugula, seasoned with the spicy oil used to fry the shrimp, cool it down with some fresh tomatoes, and savory it up with parmesan and balsamic vinegar. And for that final touch, spritz over some lemon juice with the Main Squeeze lemon squeezer.

Simple as that and packed with deliciousness that will leave everyone impressed!

Romanesco broccoli and shrimp

Looking for an exciting new dish to try? Look no further than Romanesco broccoli and shrimp.
