Shrimp is often included in tasty and healthy salads that you sometimes want to treat yourself to.
This type of seafood has many advantages.
In particular, shrimp can be called a tasty and healthy ingredient that will instantly transform even the simplest salad.
However, in order to achieve the desired result, you need to cook the component correctly.
What subtleties should not be forgotten?
Defrosting
Since shrimps are not caught in their natural habitat in our region, they are sold frozen. Some people cook frozen seafood and wonder why the shrimps are tasteless and "rubbery".
The thing is that they must be defrosted before cooking.
Cooking time
All shrimp that we can buy in stores are sold already boiled. For this reason, there is no need to process them for a long time.
We send the seafood to the pan at the moment when the water has already boiled. The exposure time should be from 1 to 3 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp.
If you have purchased a special salad product (peeled shrimp), then it is enough to simply pour boiling water over them once.
Salt and spices
These components do not need to be added, since it is important for the salad to preserve the special taste of the seafood. After cooking, some people immediately treat the shrimp with salad dressing, which is also an excellent option.
