You can boil it: Spicy Shrimp Dip, Real Smooth Shrimp Butter, Mighty Nice Shrimp Cheese Ball, Lt. Dan's Lemon Shrimp, Smiley Face Shrimp, Oriental Shrimp Salad, Shrimp and Cheese Omelet, and plenty more.
You can fry it: Crispy Sweet-and-Sour Shrimp, Coconut Fried Shrimp, Walnut Fried Shrimp, Mama Blue's Shrimp Patties, and a few others.
You can saute it: Shrimp Hot Brown, New Year's Steak 'n' Shrimp, Shrimp Flambe (with White Wine Sauce and Hollandaise Sauce!), Shrimp and Refried Rice, Sizzlin' Szechuan Shrimp, etc.
Goes real good with: Old-Fashioned Sweet Coleslaw, Bubba's Cocktail Sauce, Delta Dunkin' Sauce, Cracklin' Cornbread, Southern Hush Puppies, and one or two other things.
The recipes are simple and easy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, lacking a shrimp/spinach dip reciepe., December 14, 1997

By A Customer

Great book, I use it all the time. I've used ever reciepe at least twice. I was just disappointed because a friend of mine has a cookbook she order from the movie that has a shrimp dip w/spinach in it. I bought the movie but I didn't have an order form in my video cassette box. But if you like shrimp every way you can think of then this is the book for you.

If you like seafood, if you LOVE shrimp, this is the cookbook for you. Every recipe in here is scruptious, delicious, mouth watering. And the reference to the movie are heartwarming. A wonderful gift, a prized possession
