    Need ideas for cooked shrimp

    I just bought a bag of cooked shrimp. I've made shrimp cocktail. I've made shrimp salad. Does anyone have other ideas they would mind sharing ?  Thanks !!! Joanne

    Sensational Shrimp Spread


    8oz. cream cheese, softened
    3tbs. mayonnaise
    4.5oz. tiny shrimp, drained and finely chopped
    1tbs. minced onion
    1/2tsp. Worcestershire sauce
    Seasoned salt, to taste
    Ground black pepper, to taste


     

    In med. bowl, combine cream cheese and mayo. Mix well. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover. Refrigerate 2-3 hours for flavors to blend. Serve w/ crackers. Yield= 12 servings


     

    Philly Shrimp Taco Dip



    1 pkg. cream cheese softened (take out of fridge a few hours ahead)
    1/2 c. sour cream
    1/4 c. mayonnaise



    combine these 3 ingredients with mixer, spread on a pizza pan (foil pan O.K.)



    fresh cooked shrimp (a "handful" of fresh) (or 1 can)*
    1 bottle seafood cocktail sauce (approx. 1 c.)
    2 c. grated mozzarella cheese
    3 green onions, chopped
    1 tomato, diced (take out the seeds so dish doesn't get mushy)
    1/2 c. green pepper, diced (about 1/2 of a pepper usually)
    Taco chips (plain, unflavored)



    Top the cream cheese mixture with the shrimp (*you can use canned shrimp but fresh is much better, always carefully check shrimp for any shell/cartilage and remove it), Spread cocktail sauce over the shrimp (about 2/3 of the jar). Top with cheese (as much or as little as you want). Top with green pepper, green onion & tomato. Refrigerate. Serve with plain taco chips.



    This can be made the night before -- make sure you use only the meat of the tomato so it doesn't get mushy. You can use red or yellow pepper instead of the green pepper for even more color.

    I use it to add to stir-fry when I'm in a hurry. Just thaw and quickly sautee the shrimp and add at the end until warm.

     

    This is also great. If I'm in a real hurry I use the already prepared Alfredo in the dairy section.

    Marsha's Garlic Butter Shrimp with Cream Cheese Fettucine Alfredo

     

    This is how I made it:

     

    1 lb Fettucine

     

    Cook in boiling salted water to package specifications until al dente. Remove and drain. While pasta is cooking, start on shrimp and then make Alfredo sauce.

     

    Garlic Butter Shrimp

     

    1/2 stick butter

    4 Tbsp EVOO

    2 to 3 Tbsp minced garlic

    Salt and pepper to taste

    2 lbs of precooked frozen shrimp-thawed and tails removed (Marsha did not use pre-cooked, so sautee'd it longer)

     

    Heat over medium heat until butter has melted, stirring frequently, until simmering. Turn heat to low and stir occasionally, keeping shrimp warm

     

    Make Cream Cheese Alfredo Sauce

     

    8 oz cream cheese

    1 stick butter

    1 cup milk

    1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

     

    Mix all together in large skillet and cook over medium heat until butter and cheeses have melted, stirring often. Reduce to low. When all melted and smooth, add other skillet of garlic butter shrimp and sauce. Mix all together and keep warm while finishing linguine

     

    Serve sauce over linguine and sprinkle with a little paprika and/or dried parsley for color. Serve with a good garlic bread and spinach salad.

     

    This is OMG Good! The best new recipe I've tried in a long time! Thank you Marsha! Man, if you like Alfredo, you gotta try this stuff!! Marsha Gillette's Garlic Butter Shrimp with Cream Cheese Fettucine Alfredo

    Marsha Gillette and I were talking about this recipe the end of last week. I had posted a Cream Cheese Alfredo recipe from the AJC that looked SO good, and she told me she made one that was very similiar but added shrimp to it and her husband thought it was better than anything he'd had in any restaurant..I gotta tell you, this is WONDERFUL! It is so rich and delicious, it is definitely a cheat meal, but if you love Alfredo, you HAVE to try this! Sydney absolutely inhaled it and couldn't believe I'd made it, LOL! Now, that was kinda of an insult,but I think it's because she's used to having dishes like this at the Olive Garden, and she said this was better!
