Blue Apron’s best shrimp recipes
Cajun Shrimp & Corn Pancakes with Sautéed Summer Vegetables
This zesty seasonal dish calls on beloved flavors of the South, like smoky spiced shrimp and cornbread-style pancakes, which get a fresh twist from bites of sweet corn stirred right into the batter.
Veracruz-Style Shrimp & Vegetables with Farro
This hearty dish is bursting with bold, zesty flavors thanks to the herbaceous mix of cilantro sauce, pickled jalapeño, and fresh lime juice (a nod to classic Argentinian chimichurri) that we’re drizzling over our shrimp, sautéed vegetables, and barley.
Seared Strip Steak & Oregano Pan Sauce with Calabrian Shrimp & Pearl Couscous
Have a date night at home with our take on surf and turf. A pan sauce of crunchy pistachios, earthy oregano, piquant shallot and capers, and fresh lemon juice makes the steak shine, while nutty pearl couscous with shrimp and vegetables comes together in a praise-worthy side.

This vibrant dish features hearty barley studded with corn, tomatoes, and plump, juicy shrimp—sautéed with a bit of garlic for a kick of flavor.

Pair succulent shrimp with Calabrian chile paste for a simple preparation that lets the protein shine. We’re making this meal complete with prosciutto crostini and a nutty, herbaceous pasta salad.
Salmon & Shrimp Poke Bowl with Avocado & Spicy Mayo
Our take on the classic poke bowl features sushi rice topped with cooked shrimp and salmon (flaked and dressed with sesame oil and seaweed-based furikake), crispy onions, and more—all finished with a drizzle of sambal mayo and a sweet and tangy soy-lime sauce.
