Use a variety of cooking methods. Shrimp can be grilled, pan-fried, baked, or steamed. Experiment with different methods to find your favorite way to cook shrimp.
Season the shrimp well. Shrimp has a mild flavor, so it's important to season it well. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and citrus to add flavor to your shrimp appetizers.
