I put some butter in the pan. season them with obay and put some pepper in it. I like to have them buttered well too. I like to steam them till the seasoning in all through the meat. I than put this over some rice and enjoy. I don't cook all that great so I will love to hear your thoughts. Happy new Year.

I love seafood and shrimp is one of my favorites, but I don't really like to eat it cold as in a shrimp cocktail, but I won't pass it up either! My favorite way to have shrimp is fried in a nice crispy panko coating. I like cocktail sauce to dip them in but I would rather use tartar sauce. Some people think that's strange but it's just the way I prefer them. I think cocktail sauce is a little overpowering for the delicate flavor of the shrimp. Of course dipping them in REAL melted butter is my favorite thing, I try not to do that very often. I also love garlic shrimp and it's so easy to make. All I do is just melt some butter and add some fresh chopped garlic, sautee' it for a few seconds then toss in the shrimp until they are nice and pink!!! SO good!! My husband likes them boiled so when I cook them this way, I just add a bag of seafood boil. It makes them taste great and you can eat them hot or cold cooked this way.

I never had garlic shrimp before. I will try adding it to my next batch of shrimp. I agree the cocktail sauce is a no go. my daughter loves the stuff.

OH garlic shrimp is delicious and if you like lemon, slice one up and squeeze some over the shrimp too! And yep, Im just not a fan of cocktail sauce, I think it just overpowers the food.

When I was able to eat shrimp (boo hoo, I got some sort of allergic reaction now), I would love to eat them cold or sauteed in butter. My auntie can really thrown down on shrimp.

Hi Sharon, I love shrimps. I either steam them and eat them with chilli sauce or Thousand Island dressing, or cook them in curry and eat with rice. Or fry them with eggs (seasoned in lots of pepper & salt)- this is one of my favorite dishes!

I usually eat them at resturant as they are quite expensive to buy in the market and since people dont have a taste for it. It is difficult to bring it at home and eat it. They are usually cooked in a different way in hotels and which ever is available I have no issues eating it. But I eat it with boiled rice, add some toppings or creams to make it go. If its with no spices I add salt and black pepper.

Most of time I would like to eat fried shrimp. At first fry them, then put some ingredients into pan and cook them. Sometimes I just like to eat steamed shrimp, there is no much ingredient in it.
