When it comes to seafood – what’s your favorite? Do you like salmon? Are you a fan of tuna? Do you order shrimp when you see it on the menu?

If shrimp is your favorite, you’re not alone. Shrimp is the most popular seafood in the United States. It’s high in protein and low in calories – and it’s great for a weeknight dinner as it cooks extremely quickly.

And now you have a good reason to fix some shrimp for dinner because May 10th is National Shrimp Day!

1. 20 Minute Honey Garlic Shrimp: A quick and healthy dinner in 20 minutes? Yes, it’s totally possible! Try this recipe and serve it with some brown rice and steamed broccoli, and dinner will be ready in no time at all.
2. Garlic Butter Shrimp: This is another quick and easy meal – or appetizer – and it’s packed full of garlic and Italian seasoning. Boil off some angel hair pasta or linguine to serve it on – and make a big salad – and you’ll have dinner on the table fast.
3. Spicy Honey Lime Shrimp: If you like the combination of sweet and spicy, then this recipe is for you. It has chili powder, cayenne, and Sriracha sauce to bring the heat and honey to bring the sweet. The fresh lime juice brings some brightness – and this shrimp makes for a great appetizer, too.

5. New Orleans BBQ Shrimp: Imma of Immaculate Bites calls this dish “saucy, spicy, and messy” – and she’s right, but it’s worth it. Imma also explains what makes this “New Orleans” BBQ Shrimp – make sure you’ve got a good loaf of bread to sop up all of that yummy sauce!
