Around the World in Shrimp: One Ingredient, Countless Cuisines

Lana Steiner•January 18, 2024•6 min read

Shrimp is enjoyed around the world, and every cuisine brings something different to the table. In North America, shrimp appears in cocktail, Cajun-inspired dishes, grilled skewers and comforting pastas. Asian cuisines bring shrimp into noodles, stir-fries, curries and tempura. Around the Mediterranean, garlic, olive oil, herbs, tomatoes and citrus create fresh, flavorful combinations.

Flavors Worth Exploring

Try garlic + lemon + herbs for Mediterranean inspiration, soy + ginger + sesame for an Asian-inspired dish, chili + lime + cilantro for a fresh Latin-style combination, or tandoori spices + yogurt marinade for something aromatic and bold.

South Asian cooking brings aromatic spices, marinades and rich curries to shrimp. That's the beauty of shrimp: the same ingredient can feel completely different depending on the flavors surrounding it. One shrimp. Countless cuisines. Endless inspiration.
