Shrimp is one of the most delicious and healthy foods you can put on your table. Shrimp can be eaten with rice, pasta, or even mashed up on a salad. Here are a few ways you can make already cooked shrimp even more delicious.
Choosing Shrimp
There are many different types of shrimp. You can choose any kind that you prefer. Shrimp is very versatile. You can use them in both sweet and savory dishes. Shrimp can be grilled, stir-fried, deep-fried, steamed, boiled, or sautéed. You can even bake or broil them. Some of the most popular kinds of shrimp include: Akoya, American blue, bay or rock, Bomba, Calypso, Chirashi, common garden, Criolla, Dungeness, Farfalle, Hana, Homard, King, longfin, Linguini, mantis, Manila, New England, North River, Occidental, Oyster, Peri Peri, prawn, red finger, Rose, Rio, royal Thai, Rio or Blue, Rohu, Salmonberry, Sapphire, spot, Yucatan, and Yumbo.
Seasoning Ingredients
Shrimp has a very mild taste that can be enhanced by the addition of seasonings. Choose a mix of the following ingredients, and you’ll be able to enjoy shrimp any way you want! We love a very crispy exterior and tender, buttery center, so we’re not going to do anything too fancy. But you could choose to do anything you like. Just choose seasonings that go well with shrimp, and get experimenting. Since shrimp are meaty, we’re not going to be adding any spices. And shrimp has a relatively bland taste, so we’re going to go easy on the sauce too.
How to Seasonal Shrimp?
Shrimp season is in the fall and winter. However, I would season my shrimp when I buy them for this recipe. The reason is, shrimp is very perishable and is only good for three days after being frozen or thawed. If I buy a 12 ounce box of shrimp at the store, I would put them in the freezer the same day. This will extend their shelf life. If you don’t have a freezer, you can put the shrimp in the fridge. Then, I would quickly rinse them under cold water to remove any residual salt. I would drain and pat the shrimp dry with paper towel. Put the shrimp in a bowl and sprinkle with a little olive oil, garlic, and fresh pepper. I would rub the shrimp by hand to coat them evenly with the seasonings. I would put them in a pan and put them on medium high heat. When the oil starts to smoke, I would add the shrimp. I would cook for about 3 minutes or until it turns pink. I would turn them over and continue to cook for another 3 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve on a bed of rice or pasta, and you have shrimp and rice for dinner!
What Is Already Cooked Shrimp?
If you can’t find cooked shrimp, you may be able to buy them already cooked. Look for them in the freezer section of your grocery store. You may also find them in the seafood section of your grocery store. They will likely be stored on ice, so don’t open them until you get home. Once they’re open, they should be fine to eat right away. Just be sure to cook them a bit longer than you normally would to get them the same texture as they would if you just bought them. Just put them in a steamer and let them steam for about five minutes. You may also use a pan with boiling water. The water should be boiling when you start, and you’ll have to leave the water on high heat for the whole cooking process.
Why You Should Cook Shrimp Already Cooked
When we want to enjoy our meals, we often cook them already cooked. However, it is better to cook shrimp yourself, because there are many different types of shrimp and how they are cooked is all different. But when you cook the shrimp yourself, you can enjoy your meal without worrying about it. Shrimp are known for being affordable, and since they are already cooked, the price is relatively low. Shrimp is also easy to cook, because it is a small food. Besides that, they are easy to find and they are abundant. Shrimp is a convenient food, so it is good to cook it yourself.
