Shrimps are a delicious delicacy from the sea. The meat is delicate and sweet and only takes a few minutes to cook. Simply serve with half a lemon is sufficient. Below is a way to cook shrimp or prawns that just can't fail. For best results, use fresh, wild shrimp.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of fresh wild shrimp
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 to 4 tablespoons of fish or shrimp seasoning, or to taste
- Ice water
- 1 lemon, cut in half for garnish
To step
- Drain the shrimp well, put them on a bowl and garnish with half a lemon. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Don't overcook the shrimp, it will make them tough and tasteless.
- Old shrimps or frozen shrimps do not peel easily.
- 2-4 cloves of garlic and / or 1-2 onions can be added to the cooking water to spice up the shrimp.
- Don't forget (KISS) Cook Extremely Simple and Kiss the cook!
- Make a cocktail sauce from ketchup, horseradish, lemon or lime juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and honey.
- Make a Low Country Boil (a recipe from Louisiana, America) by adding potatoes, sausage and onions along with the herbs and cooking until the potatoes are two-thirds done. Then add the shrimp, corn kernels, cleaned crabs and crayfish. These last ingredients cook just as quickly as the shrimp, so when the shrimp float, scoop up.
- A lid on the pan speeds up the process, but then you have to watch very carefully that the shrimp do not overcook.
Warnings
- Be careful with boiling water.
