I was talking to someone at a party last week and she told me she's afraid to cook shrimp—but she wants to cook shrimp. Why are you so afraid, I asked. She looked at me like I was nuts: Because what if you over-cook them? Or under-cook them, She said. She didn't grow up cooking shrimp and the idea of trying to figure out whether they were cooked-enough or too-cooked in a pan was stressing her out. But wait! I said. There are stews, chowders, soups, boils—ways to cook shrimp that are not in a saute pan on a stove. She was so surprised. Are you?
Either which way, here are some very big-flavor, no-stress shrimp recipes, for lent or all year round.
