Re: Need ideas on what to do with shrimp
Grilled shrimp skewers. Put them in a bag with minced garlic, lemon or lime juice, garlic and kosher salt. Let them sit for 30 minutes to 2 hours. Skewer them and grill them until cooked through.. maybe 7-10 minutes max?
Serve plain with grilled veg and roasted corn as a side.. or on a bed of rice or quinoa with a big green salad.

Re: Need ideas on what to do with shrimp
as PP said, shrimp scampi is really easy.
I LOVE this shrimp scampi recipe from Allrecipes.com. You can prep the dish in the 6 minutes that the oven takes to preheat!
Preheat the oven to 450.
Take a stick of butter (1/2 cup), a tbsp of djon mustard, juice from 1/2 lemon, 3 cloves chopped garlic, & handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley and heat in small saucepan over medium just until the butter melts.
Put 1 lb of shrimp (raw, peeled & deveined) and place into shallow baking dish (I use my pampered chef stoneware) and pour the butter mixture over the shrimp.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until shrimp are nicely pink and opaque.
barefoot contessa has a yummy shrimp with feta recipe I can post if you want.
grilled veggie salad - romaine, butter lettuce, tomato, grilled corn, grilled zucchini, grilled shrimp (chopped) and cubed avocado with a citrus vinaigrette sweetened with agave (or honey if you don't have it)
picy shrimp with corn & quesadillas (adapted from real simple)
* 3 ears fresh corn
* 5 scallions, thinly sliced
* 1 tsp. fresh thyme
* kosher salt and pepper
* 1 tbsp. chili powder
* 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
* 2 tbsp. olive oil
* 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
* 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
* 2 large flour tortillas
Directions
1. Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Boil corn for 8-10 minutes.
2. Cut corn kernels from cobs. Combine them in bowl with scallions, thyme, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper; set aside.
3. In medium bowl, combine chili powder, cayenne, oil, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
4. Heat grill pan to medium and cook shrimp, turning once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, sprinkle cheese over half of each tortilla. Fold in half and grill, turning once, until cheese melts and tortillas are crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer quesadillas to cutting board and cut into wedges.
6. Divide shrimp and corn among plates and serve with quesadillas.

Re: Need ideas on what to do with shrimp
These are super easy and so refreshing in the summer:
Seared Chipotle-Shrimp Tacos
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/4 pounds shrimp
1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons lime juice
8 (5 inch) corn tortillas
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup tomatillo salsa
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add shrimp; toss to coat. In a separate bowl, toss together lettuce, cilantro, and lime juice; cover and chill.
2. Heat a cast-iron grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray; add shrimp to pan and cook 3-4 mins. each side, or until just heated through if using pre-cooked shrimp.
3. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Divide shrimp evenly among tortillas. Top each tortilla with 1/4 lettuce mixture, 1 tablespoon diced tomato, 1 tablespoon tomatillo salsa, and 1 tablespoon sour cream; fold tortillas in half.
Yield: 4 servings of 2 tacos each
