There is nothing I love more than a good shrimp recipe. Shrimp is such a versatile ingredient that you can transform into almost any dish. Add it to pasta like shrimp scampi, deep fry it, sauté it with some garlic or even eat it straight up like shrimp cocktail.

While sometimes I like to just use a spritz of fresh lemon juice, a large bowl of my favorite dipping sauce for juicy, large shrimp is usually my go to.

No matter how you prepare it, pairing it with a good sauce is the best way to ensure you make the most out of your shrimp. And it doesn’t even have to be a special occasion. Most of these shrimp sauce recipes are made with simple ingredients and they’re easy to whip up in no time.

So the next time you’re at the grocery store, pick up some tender shrimp and use it to enjoy one of these incredible sauces.

Questions and Reviews

  1. I really like the individual category for sauces.
    Not easy to find, I would like to see many more sauce recipes in your offerings.
    Most sauce recipes, (on a majority of sites), seem to be included in the recipe for a main dish.
    I prefer stand alone recipes, even for sauces.
    As well, yours seems to be a nice site, not at all cluttered up with crap advertisements!
    Compliments to you!!
    Thank you
