  • When selecting shrimp, make sure to check the expiration date and smell for any off odors.
  • For the best flavor, use freshly chopped parsley.

  • Substitute vegan cream cheese for the regular cream cheese. This substitution is beneficial for those who are vegan or lactose intolerant, or who are just looking for a healthier alternative.
  • Substitute olive oil for the butter. This substitution is beneficial because it is a healthier alternative to butter, and will give the pate a more robust flavor.

Vegan Shrimp Pate Replace the cream cheese with vegan cream cheese, and the butter with vegan butter. Replace the shrimp with a vegan alternative such as diced mushrooms or diced hearts of palm. Omit the whole shrimp garnish.



Roasted Asparagus - Roasted asparagus is a great side dish to shrimp pate. It is light and fresh, and pairs well with the creamy texture of the pate. Roasting the asparagus brings out its natural sweetness and adds a savory flavor to the dish.


Garlic Roasted Potatoes: Garlic roasted potatoes are an excellent side dish to serve with shrimp pate. The potatoes provide a nice contrast to the creamy texture of the pate and the garlic adds an extra layer of flavor. Roasting the potatoes brings out their natural sweetness and adds a savory crunch to the dish.
