Tiger prawns are a real delicacy that seafood lovers will appreciate. Delicate juicy taste and mouth-watering aroma combine perfectly in this seafood delicacy.
How to cook tiger prawns
One of the most common and well-known options for cooking king prawns is boiling. The meat of these seafood is very tender, so it does not require prolonged heat treatment. It is enough to boil raw shrimps for 7-10 minutes. If cooked for longer, the meat will become tough and lose its juiciness and elasticity.
Place the frozen king prawns from the bag in a colander and rinse thoroughly with cool water. Allow enough time for this process to melt the ice crust. Fill a large saucepan with clean water and bring to a boil. Lightly salt the water to taste and dip the shrimp in the water. They should be completely covered with liquid and, at the same time, be free in the pan, that is, they should not lie tightly. Season the water with lemon juice. To do this, wash the lemon and squeeze the juice into a saucepan. The water should taste slightly sour.
If the shrimps were cooked and frozen, then boil them for no longer than 3-4 minutes. Depending on the chef's taste preferences, the broth in which seafood is cooked can be seasoned with black or allspice peas, cloves, bay leaves. A few cloves of garlic dipped whole in water will add a spicy spicy aroma to the finished dish.
The finished shrimp will float to the surface of the water, and their shell will take on a rich red hue.
