2# bag of 16-20 count raw shrimp, $9.98 at Fresh Thyme.
2-8 oz. bags of fresh baby spinach, 99¢ each from ALDI.
7 oz. block of Cheddar from ALDI, $4.99.
https://www.aldi.us/en/products/dairy-eggs/cheese/detail/ps/p/emporium-selection-irish-cheddar-assortment/
I boiled about 1# of the shrimp, and steamed both bags of
spinach, then pressed out most of the water and added about
2 oz. of Cheddar, and about 2T heavy cream to the spinach,
and stirred it in. With tax and a bit of shrimp sauce, a nice light
meal for two for under $5 each. No extra gasoline to get to the
stores, since we were passing right by them anyway.
When I first met my wife, I told her that if I felt that I could afford
to eat shrimp and fresh strawberries any time I wanted, that I
would feel rich. I wasn't even talking about 16-20 count "Extra
Jumbo" shrimp. I'd never tasted the kind of cheese that I used
for this evening's side, and never knew cheese could be *that*
delicious, so food-wise, I guess that I've exceeded my
expectations for economic success. The meal we had tonight
wasn't out of reach for anyone working full time at a *living wage*.
I don't understand opposition to paying living wages, at least to
American citizens, and any low wage worker who supports any
legislator who opposes living wage legislation is a fool. As
someone at the very tail end of wage earning, I don't have skin in
the game. Any increase in inflation would be offset by the
increased contributions to Social Security by wow wage workers
who were paid more, keeping Social Security perfectly solvent.

So, that last deal at the meat market/butcher shop netted me a pound of
large shrimp. I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.
I'm not looking for boiled peel and eat shrimp nor shrimp cocktail.
Scampi is an obvious, tasty choice. And yes, I'm looking for something
simple, not with a ton of ingredients or steps. No shrimp jambalaya,
for example.
Suggestions?

I've never had jambalaya except for those free samples they pass out
in front of the food court at City Center mall in Columbus Ohio.
Hmm, you just changed my mind. I went down to see if I had stuff
for Thai curry. Took out a bag of mussels, started my coconut milk
rehydrating, chopped up a leek, carrot, and garlic...and I already
started the rice earlier for fried rice tomorrow, so I'll use that
now instead.
Shrimp and Mussel Thai Curry for breakfast! Thanks for the
suggestion!

Mussels, for some reason, are a curiously boring piece of shellfish meat. OTOH, I love mussels with dynamite sauce. Who the heck doesn't?

I have not tried this but it got great reviews and I've saved it and it appears

For the prawns
500g/1lb 2oz raw prawns, peeled
4 large raw king prawns, shells on
2 tbsp sunflower oil
? lemon, juice only
? bunch coriander, chopped
2 pak choi, roughly chopped
Recipe tips
Method
Put all the marinade ingredients into a medium bowl, season with
black pepper and whisk together. Add the prawns and king prawns, and
stir to coat well. Transfer to the fridge and leave to marinate for 1
hour, or longer if you have time.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok over a high
heat. Add all the prawns and their marinade and fry for 3?4 minutes,
until cooked through, pink and slightly sticky.
Remove the lemongrass, add the lemon juice, coriander and pak choi,
and fry for 1 minute. Give the pan one last toss.
Divide the prawns and pak choi between four plates, making sure that
one unpeeled prawn is on each plate.

I can never remember how big US shrimps are. I make this with
prawns, easy and tasty. It's a Mary Berry recipe and she uses more
sugar than we like, so I reduce the honey

All seafood is bland unless properly seasoned. I've not seen any
restaurant that serves plain steamed mussels... most serve mussels
marinara, usually with pasta and Italian bread to sop up the tomato
sauce. Or mussels are added to soup along with other seafood,
Bouillabase, one of my favorites:
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/12832/bouillabaisse/
Even lobster, crab, and shrimp minimally need butter and lemon or
they're boring.

In the US shrimp are sold by "count", how many per pound.

count shrimp. That means only about 15 shrimp in that half pound. It
says it makes about 2 quarts, but that whole compliment of shrimp is in
just those two bowls.
And.... three bunches of green onions?

*low sodium* chicken broth. But hey, recipes are guides and very
adaptable. The idea of a shrimp/new potato chowder does appeal.
I didn't count the number of shrimp but I suspect I got 20 of them.
What that amounts to in terms of whatever count, I don't know. I
eyeballed the size when she was weighing them out before wrapping them
up. They look pretty big to me. Then again, I am not a shrimp
connoisseur. If I make that shrimp/new potato chowder I'd probably add
some cheese. (That will give Sheldon fits! ;) )

garlic and a pinch of dried chili flakes. Variations include the
addition of chopped asparagus, red pepper and/or broccoli. Toss in
some pasta. The finish touch is a good sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan.

ones should be discarded and that has been repeated by every writer
