Shrimp is one of our family’s favourite protein sources – we don’t eat it that often because it’s a little more on the expensive side, but when the good, sustainably sourced shrimp is on sale in the frozen section I like to stock up on big bags for stir fries and recipes like this delicious Easy Roasted Garlic Butter Shrimp! I love to enjoy these shrimp over a salad for lunch, or along side our favourite Garlic Mashed Potatoes for dinner with a salad or some grilled veggies. Our kids gobble these up and they’re just SO good!!

If you’re not really a fish-lover then shrimp are a good place to start getting your feet wet with seafood (pardon the pun!). They’re very mild in flavour and they do a good job of taking on the flavour of whatever you cook them with, and garlic is always a great option. We love seafood and every time we get the chance to be near the sea we take it, and of course we try to frequent as many fresh seafood restaurants as possible. But when we’re at home, this Easy Roasted Garlic Butter Shrimp or these Lemon Garlic Grilled Shrimp Skewers are as good as it gets, and that’s just fine with me!
