Tips:

Use fresh or frozen shrimp. Fresh shrimp is ideal, but frozen shrimp works well too. If using frozen shrimp, thaw it in cold water before cooking.
Make sure the shrimp is peeled and deveined. This will make it easier to eat and more enjoyable.
Use a large skillet or pan. This will help to ensure that the shrimp cooks evenly and doesn't overcrowd the pan.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Overcooked shrimp is tough and chewy. Cook the shrimp until it is just cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Season the shrimp with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best when served hot and fresh.
