Seafood recipes like shrimp and vegetables today continue to present an array of tasty homemade meals on minimal ingredients. They can be cooked spicy in a Mexican style or just mild as experienced with Mediterranean cuisine. Served best hot, seafood make great festive food due to their aroma, texture and juicy taste. Alone or with family, try seafood with chili or sauce.
GETTING THAT UNIQUE TASTE
A little lemon seasoning on the snow peas will go well with the prawns. In general, any vegetable can be served with any type of food. Because the beta carotene in them naturally intensifies the red-orange color of shrimp, canned sliced carrots are another favorite vegetable to feed.
Another option is to blanch zucchini slices to make them tender enough for shrimp to nibble on. All you need is a little olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and your preferred herbs to make a magical concoction. Before cooking, allow them to rest in the marinade for at least 15 to 30 minutes, and then enjoy the most delicious sautéed shrimp.
Flaky fish is the ideal partner for the onions’ naturally sweet flavor, which is enhanced by a brief braise in a buttery sauce without becoming overbearing. Whatever your plan for cooking the shrimp, the majority of them will benefit from the easy, low-cost brining method. Brining is similar to marinating, but its only goal is to maintain the moisture and tenderness of the food—not to add flavor.

IDEAL WAY TO EAT YOUR SEAFOOD
To keep the shrimp in place on your dish, make a small puncture with a fork in its back. With the spoon held upside down, carefully slide it under the shrimp’s shell near the top. Apply pressure to the tail end with the spoon once the shell starts to come loose. Avoid severing the tail.
ALTERNATIVES
Fish is infused with flavor, kept wet throughout baking, and the risk of overcooking is minimized when it is baked in a mixture of tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
