I just bought a 2 pound bag of already cooked large shrimp so I can pull however many I want out of the bag.  I can eat them as shrimp ****tail but I would like some other simple ideas for recipes.  Any ideas?

Thanks Kim
PS I am 3 weeks out so I have to keep it as simple as I can.

Hmm, let me see. I was able to handle cooked red peppers at three weeks. If you are, I used to chop them up and stir fry them with Pam. I would add the shrimp after a few minutes. I would then pour in a little low sodium Teriyaki marinade, a hint of Asian chili paste and a little drizzle of sesame seed oil. Delish!

Try them with pesto.

Try them with pesto and wrapped in 1/2 slice of turkey bacon. 

Because the shrimp is already cooked, I'd half-cook the bacon first, so it's still limp, then spread some pesto on the shrimp, wrap with the bacon and secure with a toothpick, and stick under the broiler for a minute or so to warm the shrimp and finish off the bacon. 

Yummo!  (swiped from Eggface - it's fabulous, although she uses regular bacon).

Heat a skillet with a teaspoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice (not bottled!!) .
Add 1/2 tsp Penzey's Chesapeake Bay Seasoning (or Old Bay)  or Foxpoint Seasoning to skillet.  Throw in 4 or 5 shrimp and heat them, making sure each is well coated with the oil/lemon mix.  
Move shrimp to bowl. 
Grate about a tablespoon of fresh parmesean over dem shrimpies. 
YUMMY!

I kept everything very simple and shrimp was my go-to food for a long time once I got a month out.  I melted a bit of butter in a hot pan, threw in the shrimp, added a touch of salt and garlic, then squeezed in 1/2 of a meyer lemon.  Let the lemon get warm and dump into a 1/4 cup serving bowl and enjoy. 

The other night we had fresh shrimp cooked in the oven in a cilantro/fresh shopped jalapeno's mix with lime juice.  They were the most incredible thing I've ever eaten.  We ate them over a bed of fresh organic greens.

Shrimp are really versatile.  I keep some in the freezer at work and have a jar of Whole Foods organic ****tail sauce in the fridge for dipping.

Just remember not to overcook/heat them because they will get tough and a little rubbery.

 fat free promise  and butter buds  make the sauce  even less fattening ... U can make any "  cream  " sauce with those too  and add  fat free  powdered  milk  ( or fat free  half and half )  at the last minute  .    

i like fat free  powdered milk myself  because it has no corn syrup  .. but it has natural milk sugar ...

its all yummy 

U know  those  powdered  sauce mixes in the grocery store  ..alfredo , pesto , creamy pesto ,  garlic herb?  most of them have no fat  !  

if U make them with  the fat free promise (  U can often find it at a super walmart )  and the butter buds ( that  U have to find at  a grocery store -  i clean off the shelves when i find these things and  freeze  ...  they last  forever else they are a pain in the butt to find )   ...  Ull be cooking great light sauces forever ... 

the butter buds is actually real  butter solids  minus the butter fat  ... so its the genuine butter taste ,   The boxes are a better value but the jars will do in a pinch .   Molly mcButter  is the same thing only saltier  ( grrrr ) .
