What herbs and spices go well with shrimp?

Best Answers

Classically shrimps in the UK are served potted in butter with mace and paprika as the spices. But think of shrimps as any shellfish, most herbs will add something to them, great choices for me would be Parsley, tarragon dill and chervil, soft herbs that won't detract from the sweetness of the shrimp. read more

Spices like chillies and tarragon work well with shrimp, but any blend that is typically associated with Eastern cuisine like Garam Massala is likely to work too depending on your tastes. read more

Herbs: basil, flat-leaf parsley, chives, oregano, thyme, and cilantro; Aromatics: garlic, onions, shallots; Pesto is a great way to use some of these ingredients, especially during warmer months. It works well on pasta, but it also works in shrimp salads and on shrimp skewers. read more

You can use many of the recommended ingredients for a variety of recipes by substituting health-conscious options (i.e. some of the healthy alternatives to butter can be substituted to put into a shrimp scampi). Or you could go with basic shrimp and make the meal dependent upon the side dishes. read more
