XO Sauce

This recipe is adapted from Danny Bowien's recipe in The Mission Chinese Food Cookbook and from Chris Jaeckle's served at the restaurant All'Onda, but also from a lot of trial and error on a Saturday afternoon.

Edna Lewis & Scott Peacock's Shrimp Grits

Like many of the recipes in The Gift of Southern Cooking, this recipe is a little bit Scott Peacock and a little bit Edna Lewis. Stirred through the creamy grits, the shrimp paste goes further than a few pretty prawns piled on top ever could, pervading every spoonful with the pure essence of shrimp at its best and most seductive. The shrimp paste also makes a lovely spread for crackers and all-purpose flavor enhancer (just imagine stirring it into risotto, saucing fish, or filling tea sandwiches with it).

Alton Brown's Shrimp Gumbo

A hands-off method for a rich, dark gumbo roux, so you can celebrate Mardi Gras away from the stove. While I recommend following the recipe as written—and it's well worth the trouble of finding head-on shrimp and filé powder for what might be the most soul-stirring gumbo you've tasted—the most important lesson to take away here is that any gumbo is more within reach when you bake your roux.

J. Kenji López-Alt’s Grilled Shrimp Scampi-ish With Garlic and Lemon

There are 4 simple tricks for better grilled (or seared) shrimp nested within this recipe, which add very little more time or effort and outsized success: air-drying, dry-brining, adding baking soda, and snuggling on the skewers. Feel free to mix and match anytime you cook shrimp—they will all pamper them to a degree—or use them all right here.

Chimichurri Shrimp

Skillet-grilled shrimp meets chimichurri, a delicious union requiring a little bit of prep (peeling and deveining shrimp as well as making the chimichurri) but only 3 minutes of cooking time.

Stewed Cannellini Beans with Chorizo and Confit Rock Shrimp

If you feel like getting creative, you can replace the shrimp and chorizo with anything you want, including roasted peppers, caramelized onions, roasted tomatoes, charred octopus, pancetta, etc. Bold flavors work best.

Long Life Noodles With Shrimp & Greens

After you cut the noodles, you can freeze them to use later. Place the noodles in small bundles on the parchment-lined baking sheet, freeze for about 1 hour, then transfer the bundles to a ziplock bag to finish freezing. When ready to cook, do not defrost. Drop the bundles of frozen noodles into boiling water and cook for 4 to 6 minutes.

Carolina Shrimp & Sausage Purloo

Middlins, or broken rice, are the fractured bits of grain that get caught during milling process. They're smaller and glossier than a Carolina rice kernel. The effect is somewhere between a rice and a porridge. We sourced ours from Anson Mills.
