I’ve always been rather new to cooking shrimp at home. The fresh-shucked variety is fine, but if you want to save a bit of time and have a bit more control over the flavors, it can be quite a pain to do it yourself.
Remarks on how to prepare shrimp and seafood dishes
There are many dishes you can prepare with seafood, but the following methods are some of the easiest and best. Let’s get to the first step, cooking seafood. The first step is to place them on the counter and let them come to room temperature. You will then move them to a shallow pan, so they don’t get overcooked. Add two cups of water to the pan and place the seafood in there. Place the lid on the pan and cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes or so. After the seafood is ready, you can move them to a serving dish. You can season them with any one of these: cumin, lemon, lime, soy sauce, chili garlic paste, and salt and pepper. The second step is washing them and getting ready to eat them. When you place them into the dish, cover them with a few drops of soy sauce, because it adds extra flavor.
Seasoning already cooked shrimp
Now that you’ve cooked your shrimp, you probably want to keep the taste as fresh as possible. That’s why you might want to try seasoning it right away, so that it stays as fresh as possible. This can be done by lightly rubbing the shrimp with a paper towel before you take it out of the pot. Be sure to season each side of the shrimp, because it takes a lot of that flavorful liquid to cover each side. Seasoning the shrimp will ensure that the taste remains as fresh as possible.
How to do it?
The easiest way to do this is to simply heat the water in a skillet. Turn the heat to medium. Once the water begins to boil, add the shrimp to the skillet. Allow the shrimp to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the tails begin to curl and the meat becomes pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
How to flavor shrimp
How to Flavor Shrimp is a very simple process. First, it is best to get the shrimp out of the refrigerator. You can buy the shrimp already cooked, but if you like to do it yourself you need to make sure to not overcook it. If you overcook the shrimp you will lose the flavor. So, first, you should remove them from the water so they cool quickly. Next, you should make sure that you do not use overly salty shrimp because this will overpower the flavor. Lastly, you should put the shrimp in a bowl and season it with salt, pepper, hot sauce, and/or a seasoned salt like seafood seasoning. Seasoning the shrimp will make it taste better, but it is not required. Depending on what type of seasoning you use, you may want to season each individual shrimp.
Seasoning shrimp while cooking it
How to Season Cooked Shrimp *First off, I think this is an important point to make.
*I would suggest not to season shrimp while cooking it. If you like your shrimp spicy and dry, and you season it when you serve it, you will end up with soggy shrimp. Seasoning the shrimp while it is cooking will make it full and tasty.
*You can add curry powder or other seasonings to the shrimp while it is cooking. I typically don’t use curry or black pepper, as I think they are too strong for the taste of the shrimp.
*You should definitely use butter or cooking oil. I’ve tried using other oils and cooking methods, and the shrimp just wasn’t the same.
*You should look for the “prepared and frozen” shrimp in your grocery store. This will be labeled as such.
*When cooking, shrimp is best served cold. In the store, they are often frozen and packaged in bags.
