It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Baking shrimp may not be as flashy as flambeing them in a fiery pan, but the results speak for themselves. Classic dijon and lemon add terrific flavor to these shrimp; serve them on their own or on top of some creamy pasta.

1 cup butter
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 pounds medium raw shrimp, shelled, deveined, and thawed if frozen
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Combine the butter, Dijon, lemon juice, garlic, and parsley in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until blended. Remove the pan from the heat.
Place the shrimp in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer (if possible). Drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the shrimp, stirring the shrimp to coat them in the mixture.
Place the shrimp in the oven and bake at 450 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through. Serve hot.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
