    I've always been a big fan of shellfish, especially shrimp and lobster. There's just so much you can do with them. Their flavor is rich and mild, and it melds perfectly with so many other flavors.

    The recipes on this list take full advantage of that. Once you try just one of them, I know you'll be itching to try the rest!

    Why You'll Love These Recipes

    • There's such a variety of flavors to choose from.
    • Shrimp and lobster are both rich and flavorful.
    • Both of these shellfish are packed with protein and healthy fat.

    Why These Recipes Work

    These recipes run the gamut from traditional poached lobster tails to lo mein noodles and even lobster mac and cheese. That means that there's something for everyone on this list.

    These recipes are all delicious and can be paired with so many different sides, as well. Between the variety of flavors and their versatility, these recipes make for delicious and easy meals.

    What to Serve with Shrimp

    Shrimp and lobster can be paired with so many flavors, and so can these recipes. Of course, garlic bread and homemade cheese bread are both excellent pairings. However, there's so much more you can try. Some great pairings include:

    • Broccoli Cornbread with Cheese
    • Asparagus with Mustard Vinaigrette
