Shrimps (apart from their giant representatives) have long ceased to be a delicacy. Anyone can purchase them frozen or chilled at the supermarket. Shrimp are rich in vitamins and minerals, and in terms of cholesterol levels they can be compared to white chicken meat.

Instructions
Step 1
Such a tasty, healthy and seemingly uncomplicated product like shrimp must first be cooked wisely. Shrimp can be fried, boiled in water or steamed. The main thing is not to overdo it. Exposure to heat for too long can cause the shrimp to become tough and lose juice and flavor. In addition, in most cases, frozen shrimp is already boiled, so 5 minutes will be enough for cooking.
Step 2
To peel the finished shrimp, first tear off the head, then, holding the tail with one hand, remove the shell with the other hand in a circular motion, like a wrapper. Then squeeze the base of the tail with your fingers and pull out the shrimp meat.
Step 3
Shrimp can be eaten separately with wine. To do this, lay out large lettuce leaves on a plate, put peeled shrimps on top (you can leave the shell on the tail so that it is convenient to eat with your hands). Sprinkle the shrimp with lemon juice and lightly salt (this is optional, as the shrimp itself tastes good).
Step 4
For a salad with shrimps, it is enough to cut the cherry tomatoes into halves, tear the salad with your hands, add the shrimp, salt and pour over everything with olive oil or a mixture of oil and lemon juice. Rely on your preferences. You can add a choice of olives, beans, corn, avocado, any greens to taste.
Step 5
For paella, boil rice, fry mushrooms, chop cucumber and olives. Rinse the rice with cold water. Mix cucumbers, mushrooms, olives, shrimps (the set can be any, as far as your imagination allows), mix, salt and season with lemon juice. Add rice and stir well. Add butter to taste and heat over low heat.
Step 6
In addition to Spanish paella, you can also cook Japanese sushi with shrimp. Boil the rice in the usual way, rinse it with cold water and let it dry. Crumple the small balls with your hands, place the peeled shrimp on top and press lightly. Serve with chopsticks and soy sauce.
Bon Appetit!
