Who’s ready for Shark Week? This year Discovery is starting their Shark Week programming on August 9th! This includes shows like Air Jaws 2020, Sharks of Ghost Island, and Lair of the Great White.

We thought it would be fun to round up a few of our favorite recipes inspired by shark movies! We even included a few of our favorite geeky food blogger friends! From Jaws to Sharknado, there is something fun for everyone here! So let’s get started!

• The Sinking Feeling (47 Meters Down)- Don’t let the use of blue curacao fool you, this updated version of the Shark Bite cocktail will impress even the snootiest craft cocktail drinker!
• Meg-a Shrimp Cocktail (The Meg)- Bigger is always better when it comes to shrimp cocktail, right? This shrimp cocktail recipe is also unique in that the shrimp are grilled before they are chilled. The result is a Meg-a flavor explosion!
• Preacher’s Perfect Omelet (Deep Blue Sea)- Remember in Deep Blue Sea when Preacher leaves a video about the perfect omelet? Well, we do and we recreated it!
• Amity Island Shrimp Boats (Jaws) from Witchy Kitchen- You can never have too many shrimp recipes! Witchy Kitchen has taken inspiration from Jaws’ New England setting and come up with an incredible update on the traditional lobster roll.
• Jaws Pie (Jaws) from Popcorner Reviews- Monica over at Popcorner Reviews always makes amazing baked goods! We would be dumb to not include her fabulous Jaws pie which she made to celebrate the anniversary of the film.
• Feeding Frenzy Cocktail (Sharknado) from Thrillist- When you have an over the top movie like Sharknado, you need a cocktail that is also over the top. Thrillist has delivered just that with their Feeding Frenzy Cocktail.
