To step

1. Remove the shrimp from the stove and serve immediately. Fried shrimp are usually served hot or warm. Serve them with rice and vegetables, or mixed with pasta and olive oil.

Tips

• Brining shrimp before cooking is a good way to give the fried shrimp a crisper texture and extra flavor by absorbing some of the surface moisture from the shrimp. Cover the shrimp with 1 cup of sea salt for every 2 cups of water and let them soak for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Make sure raw shrimp are fresh before you buy them, and prefer locally caught shrimp so that they are unlikely to have been frozen before being sold.

Warnings

• Clean all surfaces and utensils thoroughly after handling raw shrimp to avoid food poisoning. Make sure the shrimp are cooked well before you eat them. However, try not to overcook the shrimp or they will taste rubbery and chewy.
