So, what can you do with leftover peel and eat shrimp?... like there would be any...
1. Pad Thai- Instead of stir-frying shrimp, add already grilled shrimp to the finished noodle dish before serving.
2. Soba- Toss grilled shrimp with soba, Japan’s buckwheat noodles, and a garlicky, spicy sauce that’s both warming and energizing.
3. Pasta- For an easy, creamy pasta dish, toss fettuccine with mascarpone, spinach, and grilled shrimp; the mascarpone melts to form a sauce.
4. Fried rice- Add grilled shrimp to fried rice during the last minute of cooking.
5. Simple stew- Instead of stewing shrimp with sausage, you can just add grilled shrimp in at the end.
6. Grain salad- Toss grilled shrimp with Kamut an heirloom variety of wheat, green beans, and tarragon—or any combination of grains, vegetables, and herbs—for an easy salad. 7. Bean salad- Toss grilled shrimp with black-eyed peas, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and an herby dressing.
8. Tacos- Fold shrimp in tortillas with tomatillo salsa and a lime-dressed sliced celery salad for a refreshing take on tacos.
9. Tortas- Sandwich grilled shrimp with lettuce, tomato, and avocado on a Kaiser roll for a Mexican-style sandwich.
