Shrimp is one of my favorite proteins to cook with.  I couldn’t have said that two years ago.  Not only did I not really like eating it, but I never knew when it was done.  So when I did cook it for my husband, I almost always over cooked it.  A lot has changed.  Now that I like shrimp, I can tell when it is done.  Plus it cooks so quickly, it is great for busy nights.

My friend Tracey shared a version of this recipe a few months ago.  We are big fans of anything with hoisin at my house, so I was immediately drawn to the recipe.  It took me a little awhile to actually get this on our menu, but now these hoisin glazed shrimp will be making a regular appearance.

My 8 year old loves all kind of seafood.  I think salmon is the only thing he has ever not liked.  My husband and I were joking the other night, that I should have just told him the artichokes that were mixed in with dinner was a seafood, because then he wouldn’t think twice about it.  So to say he liked these shrimp, is kind of an understatement.  I am going to have to start doubling shrimp recipes so I actually get to eat too 🙂

  1. I adore hoisin, but definitely not shrimp. Sometimes I wish I liked seafood and other times I am happy where I am with my taste buds haha. Maybe one day I will try this, but for now I’ll stick to substituting with chicken.

  2. I love how quick shrimp is and how much flavour it holds – this looks wonderful! I haven’t gotten my kids on the shrimp bandwagon yet, but they love salmon…kids are funny 🙂

  3. I don’t eat seafood all that much…like you, I feel like I never know what it’s done! 🙂 I need to improve my seafood cooking skills!

  4. What a great simple dish this is for a quick weeknight meal! I used to really not like shrimp either!

  5. I think most kids like shrimps when they are done right! At least in our family, we like shrimps in all kinds of sauces and in any style of cooking! I’m already thinking about making this for next week!
