Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp has a better flavor and texture than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or under cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Peel and devein the shrimp: This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shrimp and make them easier to eat. You can use a shrimp peeler or a sharp knife to devein the shrimp.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper will help to flavor them and make them more tender. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Shrimp is best served immediately after cooking. You can serve them with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
