At one of your favorite restaurants, like San Francisco Kitchen, we believe shrimp deserves the spotlight this time of year. It’s light, quick to cook, and effortlessly soaks up bold flavors—making it the ultimate summer protein. Whether you’re grilling in the backyard or looking to spice up your weeknight meals, these five shrimp recipes are perfect for warm-weather dining.
Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Garlic & Lemon
Few things say summer quite like skewers over an open flame. Toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and a dash of paprika, then thread onto skewers with fresh veggies like bell peppers and red onion. Grill until just opaque and serve with a side of herbed rice or grilled flatbread.
Shrimp Tacos with Mango Salsa
Sweet meets spicy in this sunshine-worthy dish. Lightly season shrimp with chili powder, cumin, and lime, then pan-sear or grill. Top warm corn tortillas with the shrimp, fresh mango salsa, and a drizzle of crema for a taco night that tastes like vacation.
Chilled Shrimp & Citrus Salad
When it’s too hot to cook, this salad comes to the rescue. Combine poached or grilled shrimp with orange slices, avocado, mixed greens, and a light citrus vinaigrette. It’s refreshing, satisfying, and easy to prep ahead—ideal for picnics or patio lunches.
Shrimp Pasta with Summer Veggies
Take advantage of seasonal zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and corn with a quick sautéed shrimp pasta. Toss cooked linguine with olive oil, garlic, veggies, and shrimp for a 20-minute dinner that feels gourmet but keeps things light.
Spicy Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
A low-carb, high-flavor favorite, these wraps are all about crunch and spice. Cook shrimp with sriracha, soy sauce, and lime, then pile into butter lettuce cups with shredded carrot, cucumber, and cilantro. Fast, fun, and totally shareable.
