50 delicious shrimp recipes, from soup to spring rolls
For those keeping an eye on their caloric intake, shrimp is a pretty perfect food. A medium-sized shrimp is only about 7 calories and packs quite a nutritional punch. Shrimp are high in protein, selenium, vitamin B12, phosphorus, choline, copper, and iodine—all things our bodies need to stay healthy and fight disease.
It's little wonder that shrimp is the most popular seafood in America. A March 2026 report from the National Fisheries Institute found that shrimp was the nation's most commonly consumed seafood in 2023 for the third year running, and the average American ate 5.1 pounds of the shellfish over the year.
Of course, shrimp isn't right for everyone: Shellfish is adults' most common food allergy. As for the rest of us, though, we can't get enough. If you are tired of your standard shrimp dishes, it might be time to switch things up. There are options beyond tossing it in a stir-fry or a pasta. In fact, there are seemingly an endless number of creative and delicious ways to cook shrimp and add it to your meals.
Stacker created a list of the best methods, compiling our favorite shrimp recipes from Allrecipes that will delight your taste buds.
