Hey y’all, Tiffany here with some delicious recipes that can be made with raw frozen shrimp!
As you know by now, we love having a frugal grocery budget. Part of that budget goes each month towards stocking up on discounted foods for our food storage.
A few months ago, Kroger had an amazing sale on bags of raw frozen shrimp that were already deveined. Of course, we bought several bags!
Now, I don’t enjoy cooking very much, especially when it’s with ingredients I know nothing about. I can rock Silly Chili Macaroni or Instant Pot Macaroni and Cheese, but otherwise, I’m a bit hopeless.
Part of that stems from my Crohn’s disease – eating is painful, so the last thing I want to do is spend time cooking something unfamiliar. Then the risk it would trigger my stomach and make things even more painful than usual.
On the other hand, Phillip really enjoys cooking elaborate foods and experimenting. So when we try something new, like raw frozen shrimp, I like to do a roundup of recipes that go along with that food.
I’ve collected some of the best shrimp recipes and put them in the post so my husband and y’all can do some experimenting of your own.
Enjoy!
