Types of Shrimp Dishes 

Shrimp is probably one of the most indulgent forms of sea-food, or any sort of food, in the world. Since they are soft, succulent and versatile, shrimp can be used in a plethora of ways to create a variety of indulgent dishes. From Asian styles to cuisine to America’s Southern food, the universe of culinary possibilities involving shrimp is almost endless.

Curries involving shrimp are flavourful and aromatic, especially the ones from regions such as central and southern Asia. Dishes such as Szechwan shrimp and Indian shrimp curry are staples within notable restaurants in Maldives contained in luxury hotels and resorts such as the Anantara Veli Maldives Resort. Exotic dishes such as this are probably some of the best ways to appreciate the texture and consistency of shrimp, but there are many more dishes to sample.

Italian cuisine also does justice by shrimp through various dishes. Even seemingly simple pasta-based dishes such as garlic-shrimp linguini are loaded with flavour. You can also discover more indulgent dishes such as shrimp fettuccine Alfredo which is bursting with cheesy-garlic goodness. For something a little spicy you could always opt for a Shrimp Fra Diavolo which comes topped with chilli flakes for spice-enthusiasts, but since it is an Italian dish at heart, it won’t pack as much heat as say, a Spanish dish.

Spanish and Mexican cuisine showcases a distinctly different range of flavours and dishes when it comes to shrimp-based cuisine, and there are so many different formats. The paella is one of the most traditional forms of Spanish cuisine, and consists of an exquisite pot of rice packing a varied assortment of flavours and ingredients. If you’re craving something a little different, you could opt for some shrimp enchiladas.

These are but few of the astonishing range of dishes that are possible when it comes to shrimp. If you love this particular form of seafood, then you won’t have to worry about getting bored with it.
