You have to hit the bull’s-eye the first time you do it, and definitely you are going to get it right if you follow my directions.
Nothing is more delicious than fully cooked shrimp. How many times have you been in the kitchen while roasting shrimp? In case you sound like me, cooking shrimp is not something you do from time to time. This article is to a lesser extent a formula, but generally a guide to methods. Cooking shrimp is so natural if you just know how to do it.
Most shrimp solidify shortly after being caught. The freshest tasting shrimp is therefore the best tasting shrimp you buy on the road, as opposed to thawed fish on the fish counter at the general store. This is because shrimp have an extremely short shelf life and you usually have no idea how long it has been thawed. Therefore, I NEVER, ever, ever buy shrimp that hasn’t been thawed.
In the unlikely event that you buy frozen shrimp, you can thaw them yourself, shortly before you need them. I never thaw them in the refridgerator at this time because they accumulate an excessive amount of histamine. Histamine is the substance that causes the eyes to get cold and watery, and can also cause serious stomach problems.
I usually take the shrimp out of the package, put them in a bowl or colander in the sink and let cold water run over them for 5 minutes. Turn the shrimp from time to time to make sure they are properly exposed to cold water. You will notice that the shrimp is thawed when they appear soft and slightly translucent. This will only take a few moments. Wipe the shrimp dry with a paper towel.
HERE IS A LITTLE COOKING LESSON ON HOW TO PREPARE SHRIMP PERFECTLY ON THE STOVETOP
First place the shrimp in a bowl and focus on seasoning the mixture. Mix well to make sure the shrimp are covered with sea salt, Italian seasoning, paprika and pieces of red flakes of pepper. Shrimps have a mild flavor, so they take on the taste of whatever flavor you want them to acquire. Delicious!
Then you will have to turn on the stove and heat the oil or butter over medium heat. I turn the pan upside down for the most part while the oil heats up to cover the bottom of the pan.
When the spread becomes soft or the oil actually moves around the pan, put the shrimp onto the hot pan. If they don’t sizzle now, heat your pan a little longer next time.
Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes on each side, turning them halfway through once. Depending on the size of the shrimp and the number of shrimp in the container, this usually takes 4 to 5 minutes.
Finally, transfer the shrimp to a serving dish. Serve the cooked shrimp immediately with noodles or rice or pasta.
HOW TO TELL IF THE SHRIMP IS COOKED
Please note that shrimp cooks very quickly, so watch them or they will cook too much. The overcooked shrimp looks like a wide, flexible “U”, while the overcooked shrimp forms an “O”. The perfectly cooked shrimps are pink with a bright red tail and look like a “C” and are ready to eat! One minute they look a little strange and unattractive, and the next minute it’s hard not to eat them directly from the pan. There is absolutely no guess.
HOW TO TURN SHRIMP INTO DINNER
I could probably settle for a bowl of shrimp and nothing else, but most of the time shrimp needs a side dish, usually carbohydrates, to make a complete meal. You can try the shrimp pesto pasta, an amazing mixture of pesto, white wine fettuccine and Italian seasoning. I also like to use red wine to cook the shrimp, as I do with this shrimp paste with garlic. Since shrimp is used in almost every kitchen in the world, you can add it to almost anything! Serve the shrimp in rice or orzo, eat them on a bed of vegetables or with baked vegetables on the side. What is your favorite way to eat shrimp for dinner?
