The Recipe Rundown

Stuck in a Dinner Rut?

Ever feel like you’re making the same dinner recipes on repeat—like, 100 times? Yeah, same. I get into those ruts too, so I wanted to mix things up and play around with some seasonings I had sitting in my kitchen.

The Star: Hawaiian Red Sea Salt

I grabbed this Hawaiian Red Sea Salt from Spice & Tea Exchange—and wow, so so good. It’s got this kinda earthy, rich flavor with a hint of natural saltiness that’s a little bolder than your everyday salt. It’s made with volcanic clay, which gives it that deep red color and a bit of a mineral boost. It’s the good stuff.

How I Served It

You can pile this garlicky shrimp over coconut rice or jasmine rice (both are awesome), but I went with whole grain pasta. Sometimes those whole grain noodles can be a little…meh, but the buttery garlic sauce and that salty sprinkle totally leveled them up. Toss in a side salad or some crusty bread with butter, and bam! Dinner is served.

Bonus: Leftovers Hit Different

This shrimp is also amazing for meal prep. It reheats like a champ! I made another batch for and honestly, I was excited to eat it again the next day. Just as good—maybe even better.

FAQ

1. Can I use regular salt instead of Hawaiian Red Sea Salt?
Totally! Regular sea salt works fine, but the Hawaiian red stuff gives it that extra wow flavor. If you can snag it, it’s worth it!

2. What kind of shrimp is best?
Big ones! Large or jumbo shrimp work best—they stay juicy and soak up all that buttery garlic flavor.

3. Can I make this less spicy?
For sure. Just skip the red pepper flakes, or cut it down to a pinch. Still super tasty without the heat!

4. What can I serve this with?
Rice, pasta, or even crusty bread to soak up that buttery sauce—trust me, you’ll want every drop. Oh, and a simple salad works too!

5. How long does it keep?
Leftovers? Rare—but if you’ve got some, pop ‘em in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently so the shrimp stays tender.

Sprinkle of Fun

Turn dinner into a little island party—no plane ticket needed! Pop on some music (Jack Johnson, beachy vibes, whatever makes you feel sunny), and throw a few fun touches on the table. Think pineapple napkins, a paper umbrella in your drink, or even a lei if you have it. Serve up that garlicky Red Sea Salt Shrimp with coconut rice or some crusty bread. Easy, low-key, and just the right sprinkle of fun! 🌺🍤🌴
