Instructions
Step 1
To cook fresh shrimp, just rinse them, put them in a saucepan and pour boiling water for 1 minute (the water should cover them completely). After that, you need to drain the water, put the shrimp on a plate, pour over them with lemon juice and decorate with herbs, dill greens are best suited for this. It is imperative to salt the water, on average 1 teaspoon of salt is taken per 1 liter.
Step 2
If frozen shrimps are used for cooking, pay attention to their color: pink - shrimp prepared for use at the factory, gray - fresh frozen. Before cooking, be sure to defrost them, for this you need to put them in a colander and pour boiling water over them. If there are a lot of shrimp, they should be laid out in small batches.
Step 3
In the event that fresh frozen shrimp are being prepared, it will take about 5-7 minutes to cook them. Salt and spices are added to boiling water (for a 3 liter pot of water, you need 5 sprigs of dill, 2-3 bay leaves, 5-6 peas of black pepper, 1-2 cloves) and shrimp are lowered, after which the fire decreases and the pan is closed with a lid. After 2-3 minutes, you need to gently mix everything. Readiness is easy to tell by color - finished shrimp turns pink and floats to the surface.
If the frozen shrimps have been prepared for consumption, it will be enough to dip them in boiling salted water, turn off the gas and cover the pan with a lid for no more than 2 minutes.
