8 Recipes Featuring Nordic Shrimp

Sweet and delicate, Nordic shrimp are a local delicacy in parts of Eastern and Northern Canada, where they’re harvested from cold Atlantic waters. They’re a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes, like pasta, soups and sandwiches. The eight recipes featured here highlight this tasty seafood in delicious ways.

1. Nordic Shrimp Rolls

When the season comes around, Nordic shrimp rolls – a more affordable alternative to lobster rolls – are a little treat you can allow yourself while sipping on something cold in the backyard or on the balcony. With the addition of crunchy cucumber, spicy radish and salty samphire, it’s a summer meal that fires on all cylinders.

2. Lemon and Nordic Shrimp Pappardelle

During summer, opt for a fresh and light pasta dish, like this creamy and lemony recipe. It boasts a generous helping of Nordic shrimp, served tempered to preserve their delightful texture. Top with a sprinkling of chopped fresh dill, and you’ve got a meal that tastes as good as a seaside vacation feels.

3. Nordic Shrimp-Stuffed Potatoes

If you enjoy Nordic shrimp and loaded potatoes during summer, the idea behind this recipe is to combine both. Mix the shrimp with cream cheese, celery and chives, and then fill the small potatoes once they’ve finished baking in the oven. You’re left with the perfect seasonal appetizer.

4. Nordic Shrimp Tartare-Style Salad

This Nordic shrimp salad is not only fresh and delicious, it’s also beautiful to look at! It’s served tartare-style, stacked on a disc of rice and drizzled with sesame mayonnaise and teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle on some sesame seeds, and you’ll think you’re eating at a fancy restaurant.

5. Cold Avocado-Fennel Soup with Nordic Shrimp Salad

Want something to cool you off during a heatwave? Dive your spoon into this no-cook soup to counter the hot, humid and sticky weather. The spiciness of the fennel and the acidity of the lemon are balanced by mild, delicate flavours of the Nordic shrimp, corn and avocado.

6. Shrimp Croque-Monsieur on an English Muffin

While a traditionally French croque-monsieur consists of a ham and cheese sandwich topped with a béchamel sauce, this version includes morsels of Nordic shrimp and corn, served on an English muffin. Served with a side salad, it makes for a fresh light lunch or weeknight meal the whole family can get behind!

7. Nordic Shrimp Lettuce Wraps

For a fresh take on a classic lettuce wrap, add Nordic shrimp and nectarines that bring a freshness to the crunchy cabbage, snow pea and julienned carrot slaw, as well as a curry-spiced sour cream. It’s a burst of flavours and textures that everyone around the table will enjoy.

8. Risotto with Nordic Shrimp and Green Peas

Alongside green peas, Nordic shrimp is the star of this creamy risotto. This dish is bright, flavourful and comforting, and even though it may look fancy, it’s absolutely easy to make and fit for a weeknight.
