Groom life means long days and early mornings, and having a go-to recipe that’s simple, nourishing, and satisfying makes all the difference. This recipe is great for dinner and holds well to bring to the barn the next day for lunch!
What do you need?
- 10-12 Shrimp, frozen, raw, thawed
- 1TB West Indian Blend Spice mix
- ½ TB dried Dill
- ¼ cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- West Indian Blend Spice Mix Ingredients
Mix equal parts in a glass jar: Cumin, Ginger, Turmeric, Allspice, Curry Powder, Sweet Paprika
What do you do?
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place shrimp in an oven-safe baking dish. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the baking dish. Using your hand, mix the shrimp around to completely coat with seasoning. Arrange evenly in the pan, it’s ok if they aren’t in a single layer, you just don’t want some parts of the dish to have shrimp piled 4 high and in other places just in a single layer.
- Place shrimp in oven. Cook for 15-20 minutes. When the shrimp turn pink and have started to curl slightly, they are done.
Great on its own or paired with rice. Simple, flavorful, and easy to prep ahead for the days when time is short.

Kimberly: “In my late teens and early 20s I was a groom, on the road, failing at keeping myself healthy. Much of the reason I became a dietitian was to learn how to properly care for myself, and it has evolved into a passion for helping others learn to do the same. I identify with all the grooms out there and while the industry and world are always evolving, one thing remains constant. What we put into our bodies leads to our success in everything we do, and mentoring people to be the best versions of themselves is the ultimate honor.”
