Instructions
Step 1
The simplest and most common dish of these seafood is boiled shrimp. To prepare it, add bay leaf, lemon juice, salt to taste and a little parsley to boiling water. Cook the shrimp until tender, about three minutes. It is important not to overcook as the meat can become tough and rubbery.
Step 2
An excellent appetizer is a salad of shrimp and crab sticks. Cooking takes a little time and simple ingredients: king prawns, crab sticks, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, salt and spices to taste. A salad is prepared in a matter of minutes. All components must be randomly chopped, mixed and seasoned with mayonnaise. Add some garlic and black pepper to spice up the salad.
Step 3
There are also more sophisticated dishes, such as king prawns with pineapple and cucumbers. First, marinate the shrimp in lime juice, then fry them for a few minutes. For a light side dish, cut the cucumbers into thin strips, remove excess juice using a sieve, peel the pineapple and cut into cubes. Place the shrimp, cucumber and pineapple on a large plate. The dish will look more spectacular if it is decorated with herbs, and the edges of the plate are sprinkled with paprika or sauce.
Step 4
This recipe will allow you to cook juicy and flavorful shrimp. Melt the butter in a skillet, about one tablespoon. Salt and pepper the shrimps, add a little lemon juice. Then place them in a hot skillet and fry a little. Then remove from heat, add 150 grams of any beer, parsley and garlic. Place in a preheated oven and simmer until tender. And how to decorate this original dish depends on your imagination.
